Jan Lukasiewicz (Polish: ['jan wuka'??vit?]; 21 December 1878 – 13 February 1956) was a Polish logician and philosopher born in Lemberg, a city in the Galician kingdom of Austria-Hungary (now Lviv, Ukraine).
His work centred on philosophical logic, mathematical logic, and history of logic.
He thought innovatively about traditional propositional logic, the principle of non-contradiction and the law of excluded middle.
Modern work on Aristotle's logic builds on the tradition started in 1951 with the establishment by Lukasiewicz of a revolutionary paradigm.
The Lukasiewicz approach was reinvigorated in the early 1970s in a series of papers by John Corcoran and Timothy Smiley—which inform modern translations of Prior Analytics by Robin Smith in 1989 and Gisela Striker in 2009.
Lukasiewicz is regarded as one of the most important historians of logic.
