Tichého dielo – zdroj ďalších výskumov

100%
EN
The author endeavours to show that three chosen problems – the problem of individuals, of anaphora and of logic of imperatives – lend themselves to be being treated by transparent intensional logic (TIL), which can act as a successful explanatory grounding. In the first part of the article, the development of discussion about individuals is described and it is stated that despite the thorough treatment of this problematic and the advancing of convincing explication of many problems, some parts of the question may not have yet been fully engaged with. By contrast, the “story” of anaphora is basically finished and demonstrates a very successful application of TIL to the problematic which Tichý himself rather neglected. In the final part, focusing on logical prescriptions, the author argues for the view that the full exploitation of Tichý’s system with regard to the analysis and explication of imperatives remains to be undertaken. The development of research by Tichý’s followers here described on the three problems, the actual state of their treatment and other perspectives all indicate the fertile and yet to be tapped potential of the system which Tichý originated.

This contribution is a somewhat personal account of the role played by the transparent intensional logic of Pavel Tichý in the process of the development of Czech philosophical logic, and especially of how that logic over the last decades developed from being practically non-existent into an internationally-renowned discipline. My impression is that the part it played is somewhat ambiguous: on the one hand, there is no doubt that both Tichý himself and his follower contributed to this rise of Czech philosophical logic in a significant way. On the other hand, however, as Tichý (and also his followers after him) in his revolutionary fervour, aroused by the partially justified feeling that his results were not duly appreciated, failed to appreciate some of the basic features of modern logic, and thus their revolution sometimes becomes a tilting at windmills. Moreover, it seems to me that transparent intensional logic has gradually, and largely, become a kind of closed world in which it is, above all, internal problems that are tackled – problems which are often either incomprehensible or uninteresting for those who stand outside its confines.

Platonismus Pavla Tichého

88%
EN
This article addresses the Platonism of the Czech philosopher and logician Pavel Tichý. This is not an easy task as Tichý’s texts are first and foremost detailed analyses of concrete logical problems. The article therefore draws in part on the texts of Tichý’s followers, especially those of P. Materna, M. Duží and J. Raclavský. The author compares Tichý’s version of Platonism with the ancient version of Platonism and then with Aristotle’s critique of Platonism. Reference is made to Aristotle’s (probable) work Peri Ideōn, in which arguments defending Platonism are invariably presented prior to Aris­totle’s critique of them. At the beginning of every chapter there is thus always to be found an argument from Peri Ideōn defending Platonism and then the Aristotelian critique of that argument. The arguments in question are the Argument of Scientific Knowledge, the Argument of the One in Multiplicity, and the Argument of the Object of Thinking. Analogies between ancient arguments and Tichý’s defence of Platonism allow the author to apply Aristotle’s critique to Tichý’s view. The kernel of Aristotle’s critique which, in the author’s opinion, is also relevant to Tichý’s conception, consists in the fact that the arguments presented, though they correctly point to there being something common to a plurality of things, do not justify one to postulate a concrete conception (in this case a Platonic one) of universals.

This paper is devoted to the brilliant Czech logician and philosopher of language Pavel Tichý (1936–1994) who, after emigrating to New Zealand in 1970 and spending half his life there as a political refugee, committed suicide shortly before returning to his alma mater, Charles University in Prague, as Chair of the Department of Logic in the Faculty of Arts. After tracing a biographical profile of the Czech logician, the paper explains some of the central ideas of Tichý’s highly original theory, called Transparent Intensional Logic, while locating it in the wider context of the analytic philosophy of language. The paper concludes by highlighting the role played by Tichý’s intensional theory in advancing various disciplines, including artificial intelligence, with the aim of shedding light on the significant contributions of the Czech logician, who has yet to gain due recognition.
