The school of one headteacher

The article analyses the reasons of the arrival of the Lvov-Warsaw School. The author argues that the L-W school, lead by its founder Kazimierz Twardowski managed to find the exit from the apophatic philosophy to cataphatic philosophy while the school of Meinong’s theory of objects and Husserl’s phenomenology did not succeed in it. It was possible to achieve such excellent results mainly due to the distinction, which the L-W School made between the language as an object and metalanguage. The author supposes that the School came to an end with the death of its founder in 1938, not with the outbreak of World War II.
