Stosowanie logiki w filozofii. O dyskusji między Stanisławem Kamińskim i Janem F. Drewnowskim
Applying logic in philosophy. The debate between Stanisław Kamiński and Jan F. Drewnowski

Summary/Abstract: This paper considers and assesses the discussion between J. F. Drewnowski and S. Kamiński concerning how to apply logic in philosophy (more precisely: in general metaphysics within the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition). In this debate, Drewnowski defended the position of the Krakow Circle according to which it is possible to apply the tools of formal logic in metaphysics. In opposition to Drewnowski, Kamiński formulated many arguments for the thesis that it is impossible to apply formal logic in philosophy. The second half of this paper draws some conclusions from this debate that are relevant to our current understanding of the application of logic in philosophy. n the final part of the paper we criticize Kamiński’s view, which is characteristic of the so-called Lublin philosophical school.
