  3. Among others R. Suszko presented a theory of real definition in general, L. Borkowski — the conception of an analytic definition, J. Kotarbińska — the types of definitions (mainly: the ostensive definition) and M. Przełęcki — the problem of operational definition. The function of definition in juridical sciences discussed J. Gregorowicz, in formal sciences H. Stonert, in natural sciences T. Pawłowski, H. Mortimer. About the history of the concept of the definition wrote S. Kamiński.

In connection with this it was discussed the problem of inductionism versus hypothetism and it was tried to appreciate the main positions in the problem of verifying the theoretical knowledge.
