Janina Hosiasson-Lindenbaum (December 5, 1899—April 1942) was a Polish logician and philosopher. She published some twenty research papers along with translations into Polish of three books by Bertrand Russell.[1] The main focus of her writings was on foundational problems related to probability, induction and confirmation.[2] She is noted especially for authoring the first printed discussion of the Raven Paradox[3] which she credits to Carl Hempel[4][5] and the probabilistic solution she outlined to it.[2] Shot by the Gestapo in 1942,[1] she, like her husband Adolf Lindenbaum, and many other eminent representatives of Polish logic, shared the fate of millions of Jews murdered on Polish soil by the Nazis.[6]

The exact origin of Hempel's paradox is shrouded in mystery. Although Hempel apparently did not formulate the paradox in print until 1943 ([1943], p. 128), Hosiasson-Lindenbaum formulated it as early as 1940 ([1940], p. 136): she attributed it to Hempel but gave no reference. (Hempel ([1945], p. 21 n. 2) referred to 'discussions' with her.) The paradox was 'foreshadowed' (Jeffrey [1995], p. 3) but by no means formulated by Hempel in 1937 ([1937), p. 222).
