Abstract

Chapter 7 1. Bernard Bolzano (I): Sentences in Themselves The influence of Bernard Bolzano upon the further history of philosophy, espe- cially in Brentano’s School, cannot be overestimated.Bolzano’s Wissenschaft- slehre [Theory of Science] of 1837 belongs to the most important andinflu- ential works inthe Brentanian tradition. Therediscovery of Bolzano’s work inthis tradition is connected with Twardowski’s Habilitationschrift of 1894. I shall not go into the detailsof themultiplicity of Bolzano’s ideas and their particular influence on the history of semantics. I shall,as I have tried to do with respect to every issue in this study, concentrate on his ideas within the the- ory of science as it is related to the problem of the truth bearer. In the context of the theory of truth, it is worth noting that Bolzano’s position during his times, i.e. in the first half of the nineteenth century, was quite unusual. Bolzano’s influence on this century was provided by his notion of the objectivity of truth inaway that also remained standard for the next century. Furthermore, the theory which should guarantee the objectivity of truth was, for Bolzano, his theory of sentences in themselves. Only the semantics of the twentieth cen- tury sees Bolzano’s theory
