About the Book

German description: Bernard Bolzano, der 1781 in Prag geboren wurde und ebendort 1848 starb, war der grosste Logiker zwischen Leibniz und Frege. Diesen Rang erwarb er durch die Theorien der logischen Wahrheit, der Folgerung und der Begrundung, die er in seiner monumentalen Wissenschaftslehre (als Basis seiner Epistemologie, Heuristik und Methodenlehre) entwickelte. Er war ein kreativer Mathematiker, der den spater so genannten Satz von Bolzano-Weierstrass bewies, ein paar Jahre vor Cauchy das "Cauchy'sche" Konvergenzkriterium formulierte, eine Generation vor Weierstrass eine in einem Intervall zwar stetige, aber nirgends differenzierbare Funktion definierte und in den Paradoxien des Unendlichen Grundgedanken Cantors und Dedekinds antizipierte. Bolzano war ein katholischer Priester, der von der Reformbedurftigkeit seiner Kirche uberzeugt war. In seinen Vorlesungen als Professor fur philosophische Religionslehre erteilte er jeder theonomen Ethik eine Absage und pladierte fur einen kantianisch temperierten Utilitarismus. Viele der Reden, die er als Studentenpfarrer hielt, kursierten bald in Mit- und Abschriften in ganz Bohmen. Hier erwies er sich als scharfsinniger Analytiker moralischer und politischer Begriffe und als politischer Dissident, dem die Tschechen bis heute nicht vergessen haben, dass er die Diskriminierung der slawischen Bevolkerungsmehrheit durch die deutsche Minderheit anprangerte. Der "gute Kaiser Franz", den die osterreichische Hymne besang, sorgte fur die Entlassung des Professors und drangte den Prager Erzbischof zu einem kirchlichen Verfahren gegen den Priester. Bolzano verweigerte den geforderten Widerruf und liess sich auch in seinen letzten Lebensjahren nicht daran hindern, neben mathematischen und philosophischen Abhandlungen fur die Bohmische Akademie auch Zeitungsartikel zu schreiben, in denen er prazise darlegte, was getan werden musste, um das Elend in den Slums des Goldenen Prag zu beseitigen. Wolfgang Kunne schildert Bolzanos Leben und sein Nachleben im Kontext der tschechischen Geschichte zwischen Joseph II. und Vaclav Havel. Er macht den Leser mit Bolzanos zeitgenossischen Freunden und Feinden und mit seinen Wiederentdeckern bekannt, die Schuler oder Enkelschuler Brentanos oder tschechische Mathematiker waren. Und er stellt die wichtigsten Schriften Bolzanos in der Reihenfolge ihrer Entstehung vor und kommentiert sie ausfuhrlich. English summary: Bernard Bolzano, who was born in Prague in 1781 and died there in 1848, was the greatest logician between Leibniz and Frege, universally renowned for his theories of logical truth, inference and reasoning. He was a creative mathematician, but also a Catholic priest who was convinced that his church was in need of reform, an astute analyst of moral and political concepts and a political dissident. In his magisterial study, his opus magnum, Wolfgang Kunne describes Bolzano's life and afterlife in the context of Czech history between Joseph II and Vaclav Havel. He introduces the reader to Bolzano's contemporary friends and enemies and to his rediscoverers, who were pupils or grand-pupils of Bolzano or Czech mathematicians. And he presents Bolzano's most important writings in the order in which they were written and comments on them in detail.
