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.

"Proofs, Deductions, Chains of Reasoning"
This talk begins with a brief review of the deductive and hypothetico-
deductive methods and then introduces the distinction between proofs and
deductions. The core of the paper is a discussion of the logical, his-
torical, epistemic, pragmatic, and heuristic ramifications of the dis-
tinction between proofs and deductions.
