The volume aims to show the variety of research currents of the Lvov-Warsaw School and the ways in which these currents are developed today. The content of the book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the logico-semiotical achievements of the Lvov-Warsaw School. It also includes analyses of specific problems: categorial grammar, theory of truth, theory of reasoning and semiotic defects. The second part presents some metaphysical and ontological views of Twardowski, KotarbiÅski, Ajdukiewicz, BocheÅski and Lejewski. In the third part, specific features of psychological and sociological branches of the Lvov-Warsaw School are discussed.
