Publisher's Synopsis
""The Development of Symbolic Logic: A Critical-Historical Study of the Logical Calculus"" is a comprehensive study of the evolution of symbolic logic as a mathematical discipline. Written by Arthur T. Shearman, this book traces the origins of symbolic logic from its roots in ancient Greek philosophy to the modern-day mathematical logic that is used in computer science and artificial intelligence. The author provides a detailed analysis of the contributions made by key figures in the history of symbolic logic, including Aristotle, Boole, Frege, and Russell. The book also explores the philosophical implications of symbolic logic, such as the nature of truth and the limits of human reasoning. This critical-historical study is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and development of logic, mathematics, and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
