Jan Ćukasiewicz was a Polish logician and philosopher who is best known for Polish notation and Ćukasiewicz logic. His work centred on philosophical logic, mathematical logic and history of logic. He thought innovatively about traditional propositional logic, the principle of non-contradiction and the law of excluded middle, offering one of the earliest systems of many-valued logic. Contemporary research on Aristotelian logic also builds on innovative works by Ćukasiewicz, which applied methods from modern logic to the formalization of Aristotle's syllogistic.
