Abstract
Logic is the discipline that for the longest period of time has been successful in withstanding the attacks of empiricism which in the course of history invaded one after another the bastions of so-called a priori knowledge. However, radical empiricists aim at subordinating to experience even logic itself. In their view the truth of the laws of logic is decided by no other criterion than experience.
Translated by Jerzy Giedymin. Fust published in Przegląd Filozofiezny XLIII (1947), 3–21. Present translation based on Język I Poznanie, II (1965), 45–60. Reprinted here by kind permission of PWN.
