Jaakko Hintikka (1929-2015) is a Finnish philosopher and logician who defended his dissertation on the distributive normal forms at the University of Helsinki in 1953. Since then, his contributions to logic have ranged from the development of possible-worlds semantics, “Hintikka sets,” game-theoretical semantics, infinitely deep logics, inductive logic, and interrogative approach to inquiry to the creation of independence friendly logic (IF logic). His main works include Knowledge and Belief (1962), Models for Modalities (1969), Logic, Language-Games and Information (1973), Time and Necessity (1973), The Intentions of Intentionality (1976), Investigating Wittgenstein (with Merrill B. Hintikka, 1986), The Principles of Mathematics Revisited (1996), Socratic Epistemology (2007), and a six-volume series of Selected Papers (1996-2004). He held professorships at the University of Helsinki, Stanford University, the Academy of Finland, Florida State University, and Boston University. During his lifetime, he received numerous awards, such as the Rolf Schock Prize in logic and philosophy for his “pioneering contributions to the logical analysis of modal concepts, in particular the concepts of knowledge and belief” in 2005. In 2006, a volume on Hintikka was published in the Library of Living Philosophers.
