Abstract

The aim of the text is historical as well as systematic. At the historical layer it is the continuation of my long-term work on presenting the intellectual heritage of the group of philosophers dealing with hermeneutical logic. It was intended for Polish readers. Hans Lipps plays a signifi cant role in this movement however, his activity is rather unknown in Poland. From this point of view the text attempts to fill up a gap in the Polish philosophical tradition. Moreover, at the systematic layer the text with reference to is also an attempt to investigate certain uses of the emergence concept in a hermeneutical cognitive theory
