Interdisciplinary Investigations into the Lvov-Warsaw School cover

This book presents the heritage of the Lvov-Warsaw School from both the historical and the philosophical perspective. The historical view focuses on the beginnings and the dramatic end of the School brought about by the outbreak of World War II. The philosophical view, on the other hand, encompasses a broad spectrum of issues, including logical, epistemological, axiological, and psychological problems, revealing the interdisciplinary nature of studies carried out by Kazimierz Twardowski and his students.

With thirteen diverse and original essays this volume is split into three parts: History, Culture and Axiology; Psychology; and Logic and Methodology. Exploring not only the history of philosophy represented by the Lvov-Warsaw school, the book also reflects on the condition of contemporary philosophy from the perspective of concepts developed by its representatives. Furthermore, the studies presented in this book delve into problems of contemporary science and its distinctiveinterdisciplinary character. This volume is, therefore, not only a collection of analyses of the Lvov-Warsaw School philosophy, but also an investigation into the interdisciplinarity of science and philosophy itself.


“The book under review is an interesting contribution to the history of the Lvov-Warsaw School and its meaning and the role it played in the development of analytic philosophy. The book contributes also to the contemporary debate about interdisciplinarity in philosophy and science and shows the importance and value of understanding the broader historical context of the various schools and subtraditions that make up the very trend today called analytic philosophy.” (Roman Murawski, Mathematical Reviews, December, 2022)

“Interdisciplinary Investigations into the Lvov-Warsaw School is a really fascinating document for its aims and motivations. … it offers new perspectives and ideas for sure. Though it is already late for a nice Christmas gift, you have an entire new year to get your hands on it!” (Adam Tamas Tuboly, Review of History of Philosophy of Science Books, December 23, 2019)
