• Title:
  Jerzy Łoś’s Epistemic Logic and the Origins of Epistemic Logics
• Creator:
  Lechniak, Marek
• Description:
  The paper presents Jerzy Łoś’s system of epistemic logic, which is the world’s first system of epistemic logic. We characterise this system and give an analysis of its theses in the light of the theory of rational behaviour. We notice that some theses are adequate to the characterization of the rational belief, but some of them are too much idealization of rational behaviour. Next, we check Nicolaus Rescher’s systems of assertion and relation between them and Łoś’s system. We also analyse so-called Carthesian system constructed by Witold Marciszewski, which is intended as improvement of Łoś’s system.
