BUFFALO LOGIC COLLOQUIUM 1986-87 John Corcoran Department of Philosophy SUNY Buffalo Tarski on Logical Notions Here in Buffalo, in 1973, Tarski gave a lecture which proposed a transformational explication of the concept of logical notion. His explication can be viewed heuristically as carrying Klein's Erlangen Programm to a geometrical limit and then generalizing beyond geometry. An elementary and accessible partial exposition of the Erlangen Programm is included. This meeting will present a recent edition of the lecture together with commentary, summary, and introduction by the speaker.
