Kotarbinski also delineated the characteristics of an even more general science than praxiology: the theory of complex systems, which in more recent times was independently proposed by L. von Bertalanffy as a general theory of systems and which Kotarbisnki saw as being outlined in the work of Bogdanov.

Kotarbinski établit ensuite une distinction entre les économies de coûts et la productivité qu'ils considère comme les deux aspects de l'économie de l'action.
Kotarbinski considered Praxiology as a general methodological approach and as such, applicable in evaluating economic activity.
According to Kotarbinski, the general function of praxiological standards, values and categories is : (1) to clarify concepts, (2) to apply the logical norm to a given situation and (3) to justify mutual propositions between two scientific spheres (in the case in point, Praxiology and Economics).

An earlier issue of Perspectives was organized around two important questions: "What is Good Science?" and "What is Good Engineering?" The Polish philosopher Tadeusz Kotarbinski(1886-1981) gave these a more general formulation: "What is Good Work?" and made answering that question the central object of the philosophical system he named praxiology.
Kotarbinski and his disciples have developed a full system of praxiology that deals with two main problems: (a) description and analysis of elements and forms of activity; and (b) formulation of praxological principles of conduct, valid in every area of rational human activity.
Tract on Good Work, "Traktat o dobrej robocie" in Polish, originally published 1955 by Lodz Scientific Society, is Kotarbinski's principal work.

{17} Reism, a term coined, it seems, by Tadeusz Kotarbinski (or possibly by Franz Brentano), who also used the name 'concretism', is the program of recognizing as basic only spatio-temporal entities as the referents of names.
All such acceptable names are called by Kotarbinski 'genuine names'; all other unacceptable names are called 'onomatoids' or 'pseudo-names'.

 Thomistic Institute 1999:
The Lvov-Warsaw School was the major influence within Polish philosophy between the two world wars, and its influence persisted even after political circumstances became inimicable to philosophy.
Among the distinguished philosophers of this school are Tadeusz Kotarbinski, who was closely studied by Peter Geach, and Alfred Tarski, who is perhaps the best known philosopher in this group.
I think also that Quine's sojourn in Warsaw during this period had a very strong influence on his thought and that through him the ideas of the Lvov-Warsaw School were subtly osmosed into a large part of so-called analytic philosophy.
