In the book under review, Lukasiewicz reconstructs Aristotle's syllogistic as a system of modern symbolic logic modeled on the 1910 Russell-Whitehead PRINCIPIA MATHEMATICA. This reconstruction inspired generations of logicians to go back and restudy their Aristotle, and it inspired generations of philosophers and classicists to go back and study their symbolic logic. There is no way to understand the historical development of interpretations of Aristotle's PRIOR ANALYTICS without reading this book. However, if your goal is to understand Aristotle's PRIOR ANALYTICS itself, read the 1989 translation and commentary by Robin Smith. In addition to Mr. Ole Anders' review, I would add that Lukasiewicz can also be credited with the invention of three-valued logic, and for being one of the first researchers on the principle of contradiction, also treated in this book. Concerning the book itself, it presents a nice and very readable exposition of Aristotle's work on logic. It can even be considered as a completion of the Organon, with a very sharp critical aparatus. Lukasiewicz worked all his life on Aristotle's syllogistic and this book, whose second edition was published shortly after his death, can be considered as a summary of his long time thinkings about that. Even if Lukasiewicz did not publish anything else, he would enter history because of this book. A note about editions: the second edition has enlarged the first with the addition of three chapters on the modal logic of Aristotle, so it differs deeply from the first. Jan ŕukasiewicz (Polish: [ˈjan wukaˈɕɛvʲitʂ]) (21 December 1878 – 13 February 1956) was a Polish logician and philosopher born in Lwów (Lemberg in German), Galicia, then Austria–Hungary. His work centred on analytical philosophy, mathematical logic, and history of logic. He thought innovatively about traditional propositional logic, the principle of non-contradiction and the law of excluded middle. His 1951 interpretation and mathematical modeling of Aristotle' syllogistic transformed the historiography of logic and was virtually unchallenged for forty years. He is still justly regarded as one of the most important historians of logic. ŕukasiewicz continued studying for his habilitation qualification and in 1906 submitted his thesis to the University of Lwów. In 1906 he was appointed a lecturer at the University of Lwów where he was eventually appointed Extraordinary Professor by Emperor Franz Joseph I. He taught there until the First World War. In 1919 ŕukasiewicz left the university to serve as Polish Minister of Religious Denominations and Public Education in the Paderewski government until 1920. ŕukasiewicz led the development of a Polish curriculum replacing the Russian, German and Austrian curricula previously used in partitioned Poland. The ŕukasiewicz curriculum emphasized the early acquisition of logical and mathematical concepts. He remained a professor at the University of Warsaw from 1920 until 1939 when the family house was destroyed by German bombs and the university was closed under German occupation. He had been a rector of the university twice. In this period Lukasiewicz and Stanisław Leśniewski founded the Lwów–Warsaw school of logic which was later made internationally famous by Alfred Tarski who had been Leśniewski's student. He and his wife wanted to move to Switzerland but couldn't get permission from the German authorities. Instead, in the summer of 1944, they left Poland with the help of Heinrich Scholz and spent the last few months of the war in Münster, Germany hoping to somehow go on further, perhaps to Switzerland. A number of axiomatizations of classical propositional logic are due to ŕukasiewicz. A particularly elegant axiomatization features a mere three axioms and is still invoked down to the present day. He was a pioneer investigator of multi-valued logics; his three-valued propositional calculus, introduced in 1917, was the first explicitly axiomatized non-classical logical calculus. He wrote on the philosophy of science, and his approach to the making of scientific theories was similar to the

thinking of Karl Popper. The reference cited by ŕukasiewicz above is apparently a lithographed report in Polish. The referring paper by ŕukasiewicz Remarks on Nicod's Axiom and on "Generalizing Deduction", originally published in Polish in 1931,[1] was later reviewed by H. A. Pogorzelski in the Journal of Symbolic Logic in 1965.[2] In ŕukasiewicz 1951 book, Aristotle's Syllogistic from the Standpoint of Modern Formal Logic, he mentions that the principle of his notation was to write the functors before the arguments to avoid brackets and that he had employed his notation in his logical papers since 1929.[3] He then goes on to cite, as an example, a 1930 paper he wrote with Alfred Tarski on the sentential calculus.[4] This notation is the root of the idea of the recursive stack, a last-in, first-out computer memory store proposed by several researchers including Turing, Bauer and Hamblin, and first implemented in 1957. In 1960, ŕukasiewicz notation concepts and stacks were used as the basis of the Burroughs B5000 computer designed by Robert S. Barton and his team at Burroughs Corporation in Pasadena, California. The concepts also led to the design of the English Electric multi-programmed KDF9 computer system of 1963, which had two such hardware register stacks. A similar concept underlies the reverse Polish notation (RPN, a postfix notation) of the Friden EC-130 calculator and its successors, many Hewlett Packard calculators, the Forth programming language, or the PostScript page description language. ^ Pogorzelski, H.
