- Jaakko Hintikka
Jaakko Hintikka (born
January 12 1929 ) is a Finnishphilosopher andlogician .Hintikka was born in
Vantaa . After teaching for a number of years atFlorida State University ,Stanford ,University of Helsinki , and theAcademy of Finland , he is currently Professor of Philosophy atBoston University . The prolific author or co-author of over 30 books and over 300 scholarly articles, he has contributed tomathematical logic ,philosophical logic , thephilosophy of mathematics ,epistemology , language theory, and thephilosophy of science . His works have appeared in over nine languages. For a bibliography, see Auxier and Hahn (2006).Hintikka is regarded as the founder of formal
epistemic logic and ofgame semantics for logic. Early in his career, he devised asemantics of modal logic essentially analogous to Kripke's frame semantics, and discovered the now widely taughtsemantic tableau , independently ofEvert Willem Beth . In recent decades, he has worked mainly ongame semantics , and onindependence-friendly logic , known for its "branching quantifier s" which he believes do better justice to our intuitions about quantifiers than does conventionalfirst-order logic . He has done important exegetical work onAristotle ,Kant ,Wittgenstein , andCharles Peirce . Hintikka's work can be seen as a continuation of the Anglo-American analytic tendency in philosophy, one founded byFrege andBertrand Russell , and continued byCarnap ,Willard Van Orman Quine , and his fellow FinnGeorg Henrik von Wright .Hintikka edited the
academic journal "Synthese " from 1962 to 2002, and has been a consultant editor for more than ten journals. He was the first vice-president of the Fédération Internationale des Sociétés de Philosophie, the Vice-President of theInstitut International de Philosophie (1993–1996), as well as a member of theAmerican Philosophical Association , theInternational Union of History and Philosophy of Science ,Association for Symbolic Logic , and a member of the governing board of thePhilosophy of Science Association . In 2005, he won theRolf Schock prize in logic and philosophy "for his pioneering contributions to the logical analysis of modal concepts, in particular the concepts of knowledge and belief".elected books
