Maria Kokoszyńska-Lutmanowa

Maria Kokoszyńska-Lutmanowa (6 December 1905 – 30 June 1981[1]) was "a significant logician, philosopher of language and epistemologist",[2] and "one of the most outstanding female representatives"[1] of the second generation of the Lwów–Warsaw school. She is "mostly known as the author of the important argumentation against neopositivism of the Vienna Circle as well as one of the main critics of relativistic theories of truth".[2] She was also noted for popularising Tarski's works on semantics.

She studied under Kazimierz Twardowski and worked with Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz, and later held the chair of logic at the University of Wrocław.[1][2]
