Seweryna Łuszczewska-Romahnowa; clarity; clear philosophical style; Kazimierz Twardowski

Philosophy has always been considered to be an obscure and opaque discipline, full of ambiguous and complicated constructions. However, many contemporary philosophers stress the importance of a clear style in both philosophy and science, and have a negative view of those who fail to adhere to this criterion. This claim is not new in philosophy. Already Heraclitus was called "obscure" by his contemporaries because of his unclear expressions. In my talk I will focus on the demand for a clear philosophical style formulated by the philosophers of the so-called Lvov-Warsaw School. In particular, I will discuss the reception of this demand by Seweryna Łuszczewska-Romahnowa.
