| Anotation | Analytic philosophy is probably the most important philosophical tradition in contemporary philosophy. It originated from interests in thefoundations of logic and mathematics and later spread into all other fields of philosophy from philosophy of science to ethics and (even)aesthetics. From the very beginning its aim was to enhance critical thinking by providing tools, methods, and approaches that encouragerigorous reasoning and clear communication. Its emphasis on clarity of speech, logical analysis, focus on evidence and justification, orappreciation of scientific methods provides a valuable tool for orienting current scientific, philosophical, political discussions, and publicdebates. Analytic philosophy was developed primarily in Anglo-Saxon countries, Germany, Austria and Scandinavia. However, one shouldkeep in mind that Polish logic and philosophy (the Lvov-Warsaw school) remains one of its main origins. Moreover, several importantachievements of analytic philosophy are the result of contributions of analytic philosophers from Visegrad countries. The prominentexamples (out of many) are Tarski?s semantical theory of truth, Lakatos? philosophy of science or Tichý?s Transparent intensional logic. Yet,many of such achievements are still not broadly known among students and general public of Visegrad countries. In our project, we wouldlike to popularize those achievements and spread knowledge of them among students, scholars and broader public, both in Visegradcountries and internationally. |
