The Scholar and the “Wolfhound Era”: The Fate of Ivan E. Orlov's Ideas in Logic, Philosophy, and Science
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 December 2003
Abstract
Argument
The life and work of the Russian scholar Ivan E. Orlov (September 1, 1886 – October 13, 1936) is described here in detail for the first time. Orlov is well known as one of the pioneers of relevant logic, but he was also interested in a wide variety of other topics including philosophy, chemistry, and music theory. This article shows that the sociopolitical climate of the1920s and 1930s exerted a significant influence on the style and content of Orlov's work. It theorizes that this climate determined to a considerable degree the evolution of Orlov's interests and also his fate.
