Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First edition. 8vo. [4], v-ix, [2], 2-242, [5], 4-62 (pages of publisher's advertisements) pp. Maroon cloth with gold lettering on the spine. Anellis, Irving H. "Review" The Review of Modern Logic Volume 11 Numbers 1 & 2 (June 2007December 2008) [Issue 33], pp. 87105. Risse Logica II, 160. Slater 882. Influenced by John Venn, Shearman's work expounded on the research and mathematical work of Frege, Peano, and Russell. Shearman's book provides an explanation of the state of logical knowledge during the years after the publication of Russell's The Principles of Mathematics and prior to Russell and Whitehead's Principia. Shearman also explores the philosophical issues central to what was then the current discussion between logicians and philosophers, a discussion of the nature of logic -- whether logic "should be viewed as a calculus of propositions or a calculus of terms", and other questions. Shearman expresses his philosophical views on these issues with "a conceptual account of the history of logic from Boole's The Laws of Thoughts to Russell's Principles of Mathematics". He aims to make sense of the different systems developed during the latter part of the nineteenth century, and argues that, in spite of their differences, they still formed a single logical calculus. Shearman discusses important researchers who contributed to the development of symbolic logic after Boole: John Venn, Ernst Schröder, John Neville Keynes, Christine Ladd-Franklin (the first American woman to complete graduate studies in symbolic logic), and Charles S. Peirce. An important early work in the history of mathematical logic. A Very Good book with moderate foxing to the fore-edge, one leaf shows a small corner crease. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Development of Symbolic Logic: A Critical-Historical Study of the Logical Calculus by Arthur T. Shearman is a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of symbolic logic. The book provides a detailed account of the historical development of this branch of logic, from its origins in ancient Greece to its modern-day applications in computer science and artificial intelligence.Shearman examines the contributions of major figures in the field, including Aristotle, Boole, Frege, Russell, and Whitehead, and traces the evolution of symbolic logic through various stages of development. He also explores the philosophical and mathematical foundations of symbolic logic, discussing its relationship to other branches of logic and its applications in fields such as linguistics, philosophy, and mathematics.The book is divided into three parts. Part one provides an overview of symbolic logic and its historical development, while part two examines the key figures and their contributions to the field. Part three focuses on the applications of symbolic logic, including its use in computer science and artificial intelligence.Overall, The Development of Symbolic Logic is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and evolution of this important branch of logic. Shearman's critical-historical approach provides a thorough and insightful analysis of the subject, making it an invaluable reference for scholars and students alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
