Between Contingency and Necessity of Human Action. Are We Free in our Choices? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The point of departure of this paper is the characterization of human action as contingent or necessary (obligatory). The key question concerns the place for choice in the human action, i.e. are we free in our choices?

Strong Tolerance and Strong Universality of Interval Eigenvectors in a Max-Łukasiewicz Algebra

open access: yesMathematics, 2020
The Łukasiewicz conjunction (sometimes also considered to be a logic of absolute comparison), which is used in multivalued logic and in fuzzy set theory, is one of the most important t-norms.

The Calculus of Names—The Legacy of Jan Łukasiewicz

open access: yesAxioms
With his research on Aristotle’s syllogistic, Jan Łukasiewicz initiates the branch of logic known as the calculus of names. This field deals with axiomatic systems that analyse various fragments of the logic of names, i.e., that branch of logic that ...

Logical Determinacy versus Logical Contingency. The Case of Łukasiewicz’s Three-valued Logic

open access: yesStudia Humana, 2019
In constructing the three-valued logic, Jan Łukasiewicz was highly inspirited by the Aristotelian idea of logical contingency. Nevertheless, we can construct a four-valued logic for explicating the Stoic idea of logical determinacy.

Games for the Strategic Influence of Expectations

open access: yes, 2014
We introduce a new class of games where each player's aim is to randomise her strategic choices in order to affect the other players' expectations aside from her own.

Comparing Circular Histograms by Using Modulo Similarity and Maximum Pair-Assignment Compatibility Measure

open access: yesInternational Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems, 2017
Histograms are an intuitively understandable tool for graphically presenting frequency data that is available for and useful in modern data-analysis, this also makes comparing histograms an interesting field of research.

Classical and Fuzzy Two-Layered Modal Logics for Uncertainty: Translations and Proof-Theory

open access: yesInternational Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems, 2020
This paper is a contribution to the study of two distinct kinds of logics for modelling uncertainty. Both approaches use logics with a two-layered modal syntax, but while one employs classical logic on both levels and infinitely-many multimodal operators,

An analysis of the logic of Riesz Spaces with strong unit

open access: yes, 2017
We study \L ukasiewicz logic enriched with a scalar multiplication with scalars taken in $[0,1]$. Its algebraic models, called {\em Riesz MV-algebras}, are, up to isomorphism, unit intervals of Riesz spaces with a strong unit endowed with an appropriate ...

Dispute Over Logistic Between Jan Łukasiewicz and Augustyn Jakubisiak. Why Was it Important?

open access: yesStudia Humana, 2019
Augustyn Jakubisiak (1884-1945), Polish priest, philosopher and theologian, undertook polemics with Jan Łukasiewicz, whom he knew personally. A dispute concerning the so-called logistics (mathematical logic) and its relationship with philosophy developed
