	Bernard Bolzano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bernard Placidus Johann Nepomuk Bolzano (October 5, 1781 – December 18, 1848) was a Czech mathematician, theologian, philosopher and logician.
		Bolzano entered the University of Prague in 1796 and studied mathematics, philosophy and physics.
		For Bolzano, it was not enough that we merely have confirmation of natural or mathematical truths, but rather it was the proper role of the sciences (both pure and applied) to seek out justification in terms of the fundamental truths that may or may not appear to be obvious to our intuitions.

	20th WCP: Bernard Bolzano-Pedagogue
		Bolzano's ethics were principally rationalistic in the spirit of the late Enlightenment.
		Bolzano believed that the highest moral law of the individual is to contribute one's bit to the public welfare, family, nation, state and all human beings as much as he is able to.
		Bolzano is convinced that in the same way that the individual improves through all his life, the human society also improves during the history.

		Bernard Bolzano was born on 5 October 1781 in Prague as the fourth of 12 children.
		This progressive stance and Bolzano's blunt criticisms of the prescribed theology textbook brought him to the unwelcome notice of conservatives in church and state, and after several investigations, he was removed from office This removal came during the period of the strongest conservative reaction to liberalism in Metternichian Austria.
		Bolzano defended his views and their compatibility with Catholic doctrine throughout, but he was thereafter forbidden to hear confession, though allowed to continue celebrating mass.

	Bernard Bolzano's Theory of Science
		Bolzano was the first to recognize that transcendental philosophy and its idealistic sequel were a re ductio ad absurdum of the semantics of modem philosophy.
		Bolzano was the only outstanding proponent of utilitarianism among German-speaking philosophers, and was a creative mathematician whose name is duly remembered in the annals of this discipline.

		The personal fate of Bolzano (picture) affords a dramatic insight into the dangers to which really independent thinkers are exposed when the internal revolutions of a reactionary period are manifest.
		Bolzano was born shortly prior to the outbreak of the French Revolution and died during the year of multiple European revolutions.

	I A Logical Framework
		Much to his credit, Bolzano considered also this notion of consequence--he called it Ableitbarkeit--whereas today one is only interested in the logical holding of the consequence.
		That is, one reduces the validity of the inference to the logical holding of a relation of consequence between the propositional contents of statements that serve as premises and conclusion, respectively, of the inference in question.
		Bolzano also reduced the correctness of the statement that the rose is red is true to the rose's really being red.

	Sempiternal Truth. The Bolzano-Twardowski-Lesniewski Axis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Thus, while in Bolzano truth-bearers are propositions, truth-makers are the relationships (Verhältnisse) that a proposition enunciates, where a relationship is the belonging of a quality (which ‘(b)-ity’ refers to) to an object (which ‘a’ refers to) (16).
		As to Bolzano, one of the reasons for which it seems that the same proposition is sometimes true and sometimes false in accordance with different times, places and objects, follows from the fact that some parts in it may change.
		As regards Bolzano such a difference is radical, because a judgement has as matter or content a proposition-in-itself, which is a lektological object, always complex, referring to relationships between objects, of which at least one is a quality.

	OUP: The Mathematical Works of Bernard Bolzano: Russ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Bernard Bolzano (1781-1848, Prague) was a remarkable thinker and reformer far ahead of his time in many areas, including philosophy, theology, ethics, politics, logic, and mathematics.
		Bolzano identified an objective and semantic connection between truths, his so-called 'ground-consequence' relation that imposed a structure on mathematical theories and reflected careful conceptual analysis.
		This was part of his highly original philosophy of mathematics that appears to be inseparable from his extraordinarily fruitful practical development of mathematics in ways that remain far from being properly understood, and may still be of relevance today.

		Bolzano's philosophy of mathematics was treated in greater depth and breadth than at previous Bolzano conferences.
		Jan Sebestik's paper was on "Bolzano and the Origins of Analytical Philosophy", and took it for granted that Bolzano's interest in both logic and language make him a de iure member of the analytical school.
		Edgar Morscher's paper was on "Bolzano's notion of Variation", and was commented on by Mark Siebel: both papers were concerned both with the exegesis of Bolzano's account of analyticity and consequence and on its bearing of modern accounts of these notions.

		This was done in Husserl's celebrated "Logical Investigations", in which he identified the Czech mathematician and logician, Bernard Bolzano, as "the greatest logician of all times".
		Further questions become apparent, for example: the problem of time and temporality, the problem of the given and of the absolute self-given, in other words, problems of evidence which, as we have seen, were always in the foreground of interest.
		As far as the domestic philosophical tradition is concerned, they referred back to Jan Amos Komenský, Bernard Bolzano and T.G. Masaryk; their methodology originated from a thorough study of the concrete by means of strict analysis after the manner of Husserl.
