Abstract
In the thirties Poland was dominated by a style in philosophy related in some respects to the Vienna Circle, and called by Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz the Polish Antiirrationalism. This was distinguished by three main characteristics: 1° antiirrationalism, i.e. the decision to accept only fully verifiable theses which can be demonstrated and verified; 2° the postulate of linguistic precision and exactness; 3° inclusion of logistical conceptual system, together with marked influence of symbolic logic. While, however, the Vienna Circle opted for the death of metaphysics and theology, the Polish philosophers were opposed to that, and postulated the revival of these disciplines by the means of improvement of linguistic clarity together with the application of formal logic.
