  • Max Black was a distinguished British-American - Azeri philosopher of Jewish descent, who was a leading influence in analytic philosophy in the first half of the twentieth century. He made contributions to the philosophy of language, the philosophy of mathematics and science, and the philosophy of art, also publishing studies of the work of philosophers such as Frege. His translation of Frege's published philosophical writing is a classic text. Black was born in Azerbaijan. He grew up in London, England, where his family had moved in 1912, when Black was three years old. He studied mathematics at Queens' College, Cambridge where he developed an interest in the philosophy of mathematics. Russell, Wittgenstein, G. E. Moore, and Ramsey were all at Cambridge at that time, and their influence on Black may have been considerable. He graduated in 1930 and was awarded a fellowship to study at Göttingen for a year. From 1931–36, he was mathematics master at the Royal Grammar School, Newcastle. His first book was The nature of mathematics (1933), an exposition of Principia Mathematica and of current developments in the philosophy of mathematics. Black had made notable contributions to the metaphysics of identity. In his "The Identity of Indiscernibles", Black presents an objection to Leibniz' Law by means of a hypothetical scenario in which he conceives two distinct spheres having exactly the same properties, thereby contradicting Leibniz' second principle in his formulation of "The Identity of Indescernibles". By virtue of there being two objects, albeit with identical properties, the existence of two objects, even in a void, denies their identicality. He lectured in mathematics at the Institute of Education in London from 1936 to 1940. In 1940 he moved to the United States and joined Philosophy Department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In 1946 he accepted a professorship in philosophy at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. In 1948, he became a naturalized citizen of the United States. His younger brother was the architect Sir Misha Black.

  • Max Black oli anglo-amerikkalainen analyyttinen filosofi. Hän on vaikuttanut ennen kaikkea kielenfilosofiaan, matematiikan filosofiaan, tieteenfilosofiaan sekä taidefilosofiaan. Hänet tunnetaan myös Gottlob Fregen teosten julkaisijana ja kääntäjänä. Black syntyi Azerbaidžanissa ja kasvoi Lontoossa, Englannissa, johon hänen perheensä muutti vuonna 1912 hänen ollessaan 3-vuotias. Hän opiskeli matematiikkaa Cambridgen yliopiston Queens' Collegessa, jossa kiinnostui matematiikan filosofiasta. Sekä Russell, Wittgenstein, G. E. Moore että Ramsey vaikuttivat kaikki Cambridgessa tuolloin, ja ovat saattaneet vaikuttaa Blackiin huomattavasti. Black valmistui vuonna 1930 ja pääsi jatkamaan opintojaan Göttingenin yliopistoon vuodeksi. Vuosina 1931–36 hän opetti matematiikkaa Newcastlen Royal Grammar Schoolissa. Vuosina 1936–40 hän luennoi matematiikasta Institute of Educationissa Lontoossa. Vuonna 1940 hän muutti Yhdysvaltoihin ja siirtyi Illinoisin yliopistoon Urbana-Champaigniin. Vuonna 1946 hänestä tuli Cornellin yliopiston filosofian professori. Vuonna 1948 hän sai Yhdysvaltain kansalaisuuden. Black on tutkinut muun muassa identiteetin metafysiikkaa. Artikkelissaan "The Identity of Indiscernables" hän esitti vastaväitteensä Leibnizin lakia vastaan. Blackin veli oli arkkitehti Misha Black.
