AbstractIn this article, Józef M. Bocheński is presented as a representative of the methodological tendencies of the Lvov–Warsaw School (LWS). Special attention is given to the reconstructive analysis of concepts, the categorial trait of this procedure, and examples of its application by Bocheński. First, some historical and substantial arguments are presented for including Bocheński in the LWS. Secondly, the procedure of the reconstruction of concepts applied in the LWS is characterized. Then the attention turns to the categorial trait of the analysis as indicated by Bocheński. Finally, two examples of Bocheński's categorial reconstruction of concepts are presented. The article ends with a recapitulation and general remarks.

The main intuitions underlying presented analyses may be expressed as follows. Any question
corresponds to a certain incomplete image of situation – an image with a gap – and expresses
the will of filling this gap. For example, the question "Who loves Isolde?" refers to the image of
the situation in which the relation of love occurs; Isolde is the second argument of this relation,
and the first argument of it is "empty". Asking "Who loves Isolde?" we express our desire of
filling the gap.
To identify correctly ontic correlates of questions we ought to accept the view that semantic
function of questions consists in indicate a certain image of situation and questioner's attitude to
this image.
On the basis of these assumptions, semantic functions of questions as well as many other
important erotetic notions are explicated. Analyses are illustrated by fragments from Roman
Ingarden's famous work "Essential questions" ("Essentiale Fragen").

The Lvov-Warsaw School was one of the most important currents in the 20th-century analytical movement. Kazimierz Twardowski, a student Franz Brentano and a professor of philosophy in Lvov, was the founder and at the same time an outstanding representative of the School. The papers included into the volume present comprehensively Twardowski's views and indicate what his lasting contribution to philosophy consists of.

We assume that the imperative reasoning is a reasoning containing at least one step which is an
imperative (or rather its content). At the same time, we understand the term "imperative" as
a synonym of "imperative sentence". We assume that in its main usage, imperatives express
a certain volitional act: namely, a will of realizing a certain state of affairs. In our opinion, such
characterization is related to the contents of imperatives; we call these contents "prescriptions",
remembering that in untypical usages prescriptions are not expressed by imperatives.
Traditional approach to the processes of reasoning takes into account only these mental
processes steps of which are declaratives or declarative sentences (or rather their contents – i.e.
judgments). If processes of imperative reasoning are to belong to the range of the term
"reasoning", the notion of reasoning has to receive a new, enlarging explication. We propose such
an explication in the paper.
