37Would Leibniz have shared von Neumann's logical physicalism?Logic and Logical Philosophy 3 (n/a): 115-128. 1995.This paper represents such an amateur approach; hence any comments backed up by professional erudition will be highly appreciated. Let me start from an attempt to sketch a relationship between professionals’ and amateurs’ contributions. The latter may be compared with the letters to the Editor of a journal, written by perceptive readers, while professionals contribute to the very content of the journal in question. Owing to such letters, the Editor and his professional staff can become more awar…Read more

36Rational beliefs as produced by computational processesFoundations of Science 2 (1): 87-106. 1997.Intelligent problem-solving depends on consciously applied methods of thinking as well as inborn or trained skills. The latter are like resident programs which control processes of the kind called (in Unix) daemons. Such a computational process is a fitting reaction to situations (defined in the program in question) which is executed without any command of a computer user (or without any intention of the conscious subject). The study of intelligence should involve methods of recognizing those be…Read more

19On Accelerations in Science Driven by Daring Ideas: Good Messages from Fallibilistic RationalismStudies in Logic, Grammar and Rhetoric 40 (1): 19-41. 2015.The first good message is to the effect that people possess reason as a source of intellectual insights, not available to the senses, as e.g. axioms of arithmetic. The awareness of this fact is called rationalism. Another good message is that reason can daringly quest for and gain new plausible insights. Those, if suitably checked and confirmed, can entail a revision of former results, also in mathematics, and - due to the greater efficiency of new ideas - accelerate science’s progress. The awar…Read more

15Universal Spaces for Classes of Scattered Eberlein Compact SpacesJournal of Symbolic Logic 71 (3). 2006.We discuss the existence of universal spaces (either in the sense of embeddings or continuous images) for some classes of scattered Eberlein compacta. Given a cardinal κ, we consider the class Sκ of all scattered Eberlein compact spaces K of weight ≤ κ and such that the second Cantor-Bendixson derivative of K is a singleton. We prove that if κ is an uncountable cardinal such that κ = 2<κ, then there exists a space X in Sκ such that every member of Sκ is homeomorphic to a retract of X. We show …Read more

13Does Science Progress Towards Ever Higher Solvability Through Feedbacks Between Insights and Routines?Studia Semiotyczne 32 (2): 153-185. 2018.The affirmative answer to the title question is justified in two ways: logical and empirical. The logical justification is due to Gödel’s discovery that in any axiomatic formalized theory, having at least the expressive power of PA, at any stage of development there must appear unsolvable problems. However, some of them become solvable in a further development of the theory in question, owing to subsequent investigations. These lead to new concepts, expressed with additional axioms or rules. Owi…Read more

12Mechanization of Reasoning in a Historical Perspective (edited book)Brill | Rodopi. 1995.This volume is written jointly by Witold Marciszewski, who contributed the introductory and the three subsequent chapters, and Roman Murawski who is the author of the next ones - those concerned with the 19th century and the modern inquiries into formalization, algebraization and mechanization of reasonings. Besides the authors there are other persons, as well as institutions, to whom the book owes its coming into being. The study which resulted in this volume was carried out in the Historical S…Read more
