Brief Critique of The Polish Review
The Polish Review is a scholarly journal published quarterly by the Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences of America. The review features academic papers, some very interesting, some very boring, and many in-between as would be expected. The authors often go a bit heavy with the near-unintelligible acadamese. The book review section is always excellent. The Polish Review is a must for all serious students of Poland and Polonia.

There are actually three journals that are must-haves for every student of American Polonia:

* The Polish Review
* The Sarmatian Review published by the Polish Institute of Houston
* Polish American Studies published by the Polish American Historical Association

Product Description

This volume portrays the Polish or Lvov-Warsaw School, one of the most influential schools in analytic philosophy, which, as discussed in the thorough introduction, presented an alternative “working” picture of the unity of science. The school was founded by a phenomenologist, Kazimierz Twardowski, who trained a team of researchers that included some of the most important logicians and philosophers of the history of analytical philosophy, such as Tarski, Lesniewski and Lukasiewicz. The Polish School represented some of the most important trends in philosophy -- aristotelism; the history and philosophy of science; linguistics; the philosophy of logic and mathematics -- and offered an opportunity for all these philosophical disciplines to interact in a natural and fruitful way.
