Jan Lukasiewicz 's father, Luke Lukasiewicz, was a captain in the Austrian army. Perhaps before proceeding we should explain why the father in this Polish speaking family, living in Lvov which is now in the Ukraine, should be in the Austrian army. Galicia, in which Lvov was situated, was attached to Austria in the 1772 partition of Poland. However, by the time Lukasiewicz was born in Lvov, Austria had named the region the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria and given it a large degree of administrative autonomy. Jan's mother, Leopoldine Holtzer, was the daughter of an Austrian civil servant and both Leopoldine and Luke were Roman Catholics. Lukasiewicz was interested in mathematics at school and he entered the University of Lvov where he studied mathematics and philosophy. Following his undergraduate studies, he continued to work for his doctorate which was awarded in 1902 with the highest distinction possible. Wishing to lecture in universities, Lukasiewicz continued to study for his habilitation , submitting his thesis to the University of Lvov in 1906.

Jan Lukasiewicz (1878 - 1956)
Jan Lukasiewicz (pronounced Wu-cash-ay-vich) was born on December 21st, 1878 in the city of Lwow in Poland. He was one of several notable mathematicians specializing in logic during the first part of the twentieth century.
At the time of his birth, Poland was under Austrian rule, although Lwow later became part of the Soviet Union. His father was a captain in the Austrian army but at home they spoke Polish and were practising Roman Catholics. As a young man, Lukasiewicz studied mathematics and philosophy at the local University and was awarded a doctorate in 1902. He continued at the University of Lwow until 1915 when he accepted a lectureship at the University of Warsaw, which was under German occupation at the time. Between the wars he was the Polish Minister of Education and Dean of the School of Philosophy, also filling the post of Rector of the University for two terms. While at Warsaw he published some eighty articles and papers on psychology, mathematics and philosophy.
Like many in Poland, Lukasiewicz and his wife Regina suffered greatly during the Second World War. His house was burned, with the loss of his library and manuscripts, and he found it impossible to continue working. He started to give lectures at the underground university and also helped govern the city under German occupation. Friends in Switzerland and Germany helped him escape from Poland shortly before the abortive uprising of 1944. He was in hiding in Munster, Germany, when it was liberated by US troops in April, 1945. He then moved, via Belgium, to Dublin where he accepted the Chair of Logic at the Royal Irish Academy and was made a member of the Institute of Advanced Studies. He was able to resume his studies and publication and remained in Dublin until his death on February 13th, 1956.

But he was also very active in historical research on logic, giving a new and up-to-date interpretation of Aristotle's syllogism and of the Stoics' propositional calculus. His activity is strictly connected to the school founded by Kazimierz Twardowski, whose first pupil he was in Lvov . Maybe less known, but very significant, was his philosophical reflection about science and the role that creativity plays in the invention of theories, regarding which he followed an anti-inductive attitude in many aspects similar to Popper's conceptions.

Jan Keresztes and Ronald Lukasiewicz Receive 2000 Lillian D. Terris Award For Distinguished Board Service New York, NY, March 2001 - Professional Examination Service (PES) is pleased to announce the selection of Jan M. Keresztes, Pharm.D., and Ronald H. Lukasiewicz, R.Ph., as the recipients of the 2000 Lillian D. Terris Award for Distinguished Board Service. Named in honor of the first president of PES, the award recognizes individuals whose service contributions have enhanced the public and professional understanding of the missions of credentialing organizations and the meaning associated with professional credentials. Keresztes served as a member of the Certification Council of the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) from 1995 to 1999, including one year as Chair of the Council. Prior to her work with the PTCB, she was Chair of the Commission on Technician Certification for the Illinois Council of Health-System Pharmacists (ICHP) state certification program from 1982 to 1989. As Chair, she helped establish the ICHP pharmacy technician certification examination and was vital in the merging of the ICHP state examination with other state examinations into what was to become the premier national examination for pharmacy technicians in the United States. Lukasiewicz served a member of the PTCB Certification Council from 1995 to 2000, including a two-year term as Chair of the Council. Prior to his work with the PTCB, Lukasiewicz served as Chair of the Board of Examiners for the Michigan Certified Pharmacy Technician Program from 1981 to 1989. Working with the Michigan Pharmacist Association (MPA), he instituted the first certification program for pharmacy technicians and the first textbook for the training of pharmacy technicians. Under the leadership of Lukasiewicz, the MPA became one of the founding sponsors of the PTCB.
