Pojęcia "zaniechania działania” w świetle koncepcji logicznej teorii działania
Abstract
The way in which the term "activity" is understood determines foundations
for the logical theory of activity. Activity understood as performance of
changes or forbearance of performing a change is an object of G. H. von
Wright's logic of actions based on the logic of changes. Generalization
of such treatment of activity is T. Kubiński's concept according to
which it consists in adopting a specific attitude towards a change; an object
of nth logic of actions is description of n attitudes to changes. The distinction
made between two main attitudes, out of which one expresses itself in
activity and the other in its forbearance makes it necessary to specify more
exactly the concept of forbearance. Analysis of this concept brings out
strongly its ambiguity, it emphasizes the difference between non-activity and
forbearance. Defining forbearance as non-activity in the situation, in which
a possibility of activity did exist involves application of one of the modal
concepts. The concepts in which forbearance is not taken into account.constitute an argument justifying an assertion that forbearance cannot be expressed
by the negation function. Attempts at formalization of intuitions connected
with the term "forbearance of activity" show how deeply entangled it is in modal
contexts, and even in deontic concepts if it is interpreted as "forbearance
of activity".
