The publications in this series deal with current topics in the fields of philosophy, natural science, cognitive science, and mathematics. They are particularly interested in investigating the multiple ways in which the nature of these fields has changed over the centuries, leaving the conceptual framework inaugurated by Galilei and Descartes.
Jerzy Perzanowski’s ideas were based on an original blend of logic and ontology in what he called onto/logic, where the slash is meant to suggest a quotient of ontology by logic. Perzanowski began as a logician, his early works being on modal logic, then gradually shifted his interest to “logical philosophy”, meaning not so much philosophy of logic as philosophy informed by logic. Perzanowski was a rare breed of analytical philosopher who thought that a philosophical “theory of everything” was worthwhile. In this systematic spirit, he began with method. He presented his “method of total analysis and synthesis” quite simply: reduce the object of research to its simplest possible constituents, and then combine them in some way. Better still, combine them in every possible way, thereby producing a space of possibilities analogous to (and in certain cases identical with) the logical space. Thus, analysis and synthesis differ from a trivial disassembly and reassembly.

Jerzy Perzanowski (1943-2009) studied philosophy and mathematics at Jagellonian University (Cracow). During the period 1992-2004, Perzanowski was Head of the Department of Logic of Torun Universitys. In 2005, Perzanowski returned to the Department of Logic of Jagellonian University, and in 2006-2009 he was also appointed Head of the Department of Logic of the Jesuit University Ignatianum (Cracow).
