  Kazimierz Twardowski on Ideas and their Intentions
Twardowski's merit was to advocate effectively the classical (correspondence) concept of truth, the extensive discussion of which accelerated the emergence of semantics in the narrower sense as contrasted with syntax.

 CHAPTER VI
Twardowski maintains that the task of ethics as a science is to define an ethical criterion and justify it.
Twardowski comes to the conclusion that relativism in relation to ethical norms is possible, only when we speak about certain rules operating at a given time, in a given society, at a certain stage of the historical development of mankind.
Twardowski as a supporter of scientific ethics claims that it occupies the area between two extremes – a state of sanctity where it becomes useless, and a state of war with everybody where it is necessary.

 Kazimierz Twardowski - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Their activities varied; Twardowski’s disciples carried their research within the domain of psychology as well as logic, arriving at different ontological viewpoints (nominalists and realists), many of them concentrated on ethics, aesthetics, history of art and philosophy.
Twardowski and his circle were aware that the strength of a new Polish nation was inherent in the knowledge and wisdom of its individuals, that thanks to education people were able to feel an inner need of self-perfection.
Twardowski and his disciples were successful as philosophers, especially as teachers, exerting a considerable influence on the personalities of their students.

 Lvov-Warsaw School (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy/Fall 2004 Edition)
Twardowski appeared in Lvov with the ambitious plan of creating a scientific philosophy (in Brentano's spirit) in Poland (at that time, Poland was partitioned between Austro-Hungary, Germany and Russia; Lvov belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.) In fact, he subordinated all his activities to achieving this task and considerably limited his own scientific work.
Although Twardowski was not a logician and did not consider himself as such, his program formed a friendly environment for logic in all its subdomains: formal logic, semantics and methodology of science.
Twardowski himself favoured descriptive psychology as basic, but many of his students found logic to be the most important source of methodological criteria for philosophy.

 CHAPTER V
Twardowski writes "If we encounter a case that a particular hypothesis or theory was – as the relativists say – true only for a certain scope of experience, the fact is that the hypothesis or theory was not true at all, but was false from the very beginning.
As is easily seen, Twardowski’s observation just quoted disagrees with those relativists who try to show the rightness of their thesis on the existence of relative truths by deducing the thesis from the assumptions of epistemological subjectivism, which would have to mean the primaeval logical status of the latter.
Twardowski does not endeavour to analyse the circumstances in which truth and fallacy appear as non-logical values: once as an instrumental value that is only relative, and at another time as an autotelic and absolute value ("in itself and for itself").

 Twardowski
The role of Twardowski in Polish philosophy can be compared to that of G.E. Moore in 20th-century English philosophy by virtue of his having been the founder of a national tradition of thought endowed with originality and accorded international recognition - the so-called Lvov-Warsaw School.
Inspired by Aristotle, the Scholastics and in particular Brentano, Twardowski clarified the distinction the latter made between the act and the content of a psychological phenomenon, stating that the term representation was at times taken to mean the act of representation, i.e.
In Vienna Twardowski took a doctorate in philosophy in 1891 with a dissertation on Descartes (under the supervision of R. Zimmerman) and also pursued studies in classical philology, mathematics and physics, in a richly stimulating intellectual environment that was later to give birth to the Vienna Circle.

 Stanislaw Lesniewski
His dissertation was approved by Kazimierz Twardowski, who, for his wide-ranging influence on Polish intellectual life, is known as the father of contemporary Polish philosophy.
Twardowski, like Edmund Husserl (the founder of Phenomenology), was a student in Vienna of Franz Brentano, an Aristotelian and Scholastic philosopher who, although not himself interested in formal logic, was noted for his precise and thorough analysis of philosophical problems.
Already learned in the history of logic, to which he was to make outstanding contributions, Lukasiewicz was at the time studying the work of the German logicians Gottlob Frege and Ernst Schröder, the importance of which he was mainly responsible for making known in Poland, and teaching his first course in mathematical logic.
