Additional information

In the period between the two world wars the work of Stanisław Leśniewski (1886–1939) had considerable influence on the development of logic in Poland. Many logicians accepted Leśniewski's conceptions enthusiastically whereas mathematicians adopted mostly a critical attitude. Leśniewski himself published but little, and it is therefore difficult to form an opinion of his logical systems on the basis of his few printed works.

With a view to enabling students of logic to become acquainted with, and to evaluate the works of Leśniewski, the editors of Studia Logica have decided to publish an extensive report on his lifework written by Professor Słupecki and compiled from notes taken of Leśniewski's lectures. This report has been divided into parts of which the first is given below and the remaining parts will appear in subsequent volumes of Studia Logica —The Editors.
