Timeline

1942

Kenneth Jon Barwise (June 29, 1942 – March 5, 2000) was an American mathematician, philosopher and logician who proposed some fundamental revisions to the way that logic is understood and used.

He was born in Independence, Missouri, to Kenneth T. and Evelyn Barwise.

A pupil of Solomon Feferman at Stanford University, Barwise started his research in infinitary logic.

1975

Unlike the Handbook of Mathematical Logic, which was a survey of the state of the art of mathematical logic circa 1975, and of which he was the editor, this work targeted elementary logic.

The text is notable for including computer-aided homework problems, some of which provide visual representations of logical problems.

During his time at Stanford, he was also the first Director of the Symbolic Systems Program, an interdepartmental degree program focusing on the relationships between cognition, language, logic, and computation.

1983

After positions as assistant professor at Yale University and the University of Wisconsin, during which time his interests turned to natural language, he returned to Stanford in 1983 to direct the Center for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI).

1990

He began teaching at Indiana University in 1990.

1999

He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1999.

2000

In his last year, Barwise was invited to give the 2000 Gödel Lecture; he died prior to the lecture.

Barwise contended that, by being explicit about the context in which a proposition is made, the situation, many problems in the application of logic can be eliminated.

He sought ... to understand meaning and inference within a general theory of information, one that takes us outside the realm of sentences and relations between sentences of any language, natural or formal. In particular, he claimed that such an approach resolved the liar paradox.

He made use of Peter Aczel's non-well-founded set theory in understanding "vicious circles" of reasoning.

Barwise, along with his former colleague at Stanford John Etchemendy, was the author of the popular logic textbook Language, Proof and Logic.

2001

The K. Jon Barwise Award for Distinguished Contributions to the Symbolic Systems Program has been given periodically since 2001.
