Izydora Dąmbska’s Study on Ingarden’s and Frege’s Philosophy of Language in View of the Contemporary Discussion about the Relationship between Phenomenology and Analytic Philosophy

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to elaborate on Izydora Dąmbska’s comparative study of the philosophy of language of Ingarden and Frege. My analysis is conducted within the context of the studies about the so-called analytic-continental divide. In the first section, I give an account of Dąmbska’s analysis of the similarities between Ingarden and Frege. The second section is devoted to the examination of Ingarden’s relationship to the analytic philosophy of language. This part delivers more detailed comments on some essential connections between Ingarden and Frege, and Ingarden and Ajdukiewicz, respectively. I conclude with the statement that Dąmbska’s work (and the philosophy of the Lvov-Warsaw School in general) plays an important role on the map of the studies about the analytic-continental divide.
