Reviews

This highly ambitious and wide-ranging study brings to light important chapters in the modern history of logic and philosophy of science, developed in Central and Eastern Europe, and scarcely known in the West, regrettably. It is a very valuable contribution. -- Noam Chomsky, Department of Lingusitics and Philosophy, MIT This book is an important source on the 20th-century philosophical logic and analytic philosophy. The collected material is absolutely unique and exclusive. -- Dov M. Gabbay, professor, Department of Computer Science, King's College London The history of science, mathematics and philosophy in Eastern Europe is largely a Terra Incognita in Western Europe and the USA. Andrew Schumann's new book is an illuminating work that casts light on many hitherto dark places and will open many minds in many different disciplines. -- James Pettifer, professor, Faculty of History, Oxford University
