Twardowskian Semantics for Performative Utterances
Логико-философские штудии. 2024. Vol. 21. No. 4. P. 195–197.
Works of Twardowski in the early XX century contain an outline of general semantic framework for natural languages. This framework, proposed within Twardowski’s theory of actions and ‘products’, provides a drastic alternative to Frege’s semantic framework based on the notion of proposition (Gedanke in Frege). The latter has to a great extent shaped the following development of logical semantics. However, some recent works state that the Twardowski’s theory allows to dissolve a number of problems characteristic to proposition-based semantics. In this paper, I show that it also provides a ground for certain reconsideration of speech act theory. Since speech act theory was suggested by Austin as a fundamental alternative to standard proposition-oriented view on language, its emergence in a sense has divided philosophy of language into barely connected realms. Turn to Twardowskian semantics arguably allows to develop more consistent understanding of how language works.

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

The language of filtrations and contractions is used to describe the class of G-varieties obtained as the total spaces of the construction of contraction applied to affine spherical varieties, which is well-known in invariant theory.
These varieties are local models for arbitrary affine G-varieties of complexity 1 with a one-dimensional categorical quotient. As examples, reductive algebraic semigroups ...
