Sinopsis
Excerpt from A Survey of Symbolic Logic
But this survey does not pretend to be encyclopedic. A gossipy recital of results achieved, or a superficial account of methods, is of no more use in symbolic logic than in any other mathematical discipline. What is presented must be treated in sufficient detail to afford the possibility of real insight and grasp. This aim has required careful selection of material.

Excerpt from A Survey of Symbolic Logic
The historical summary in Chapter I attempts to follow the main thread of development, and no reference, or only passing mention, is given to those studies which seem not to have affected materially the methods of later researches. In the remainder of the book, the selection has been governed by the same purpose. Those topics comprehension of which seems most essential, have been treated at some length, while matters less fundamental have been set forth in outline only, or omitted altogether. My own contribution to symbolic logic, presented in Chapter V, has not earned the right to inclusion here; in this, I plead guilty to partiality. The discussion of controversial topics has been avoided whenever possible and, for the rest, limited to the simpler issues involved. Consequently, the reader must not suppose that any sufficient consideration of these questions is here given, though such statements as are made will be, I hope, accurate. Particularly in the last chapter, on "Symbolic Logic, Logistic, and Mathematical Method," it is not possible to give anything like an adequate account of the facts. That would require a volume at least the size of this one. Rather, I have tried to set forth the most important and critical considerations - somewhat arbitrarily and dogmatically, since there is not space for argument - and to provide such a map of this difficult territory as will aid the student in his further explorations.
Proofs and solutions in Chapters II, III, and IV have been given very fully. Proof is of the essence of logistic, and it is my observation that students even - those with a fair knowledge of mathematics - seldom command the technique of rigorous demonstration. In any case, this explicitness can do no harm, since no one need read a proof which he already understands.
I am indebted to many friends and colleagues for valuable assistance in preparing this book for publication: to Professor W. A. Merrill for emendations of my translation of Leibniz, to Professor J. H. McDonald and Dr. B. A. Bernstein for important suggestions and the correction of certain errors in Chapter II, to Mr. J. C. Rowell, University Librarian, for assistance in securing a number of rare volumes, and to the officers of the University Press for their patient helpfulness in meeting the technical difficulties of printing such a book. Mr. Shirley Quimby has read the whole book in manuscript, eliminated many mistakes, and verified most of the proofs.
But most of all, I am indebted to my friend and teacher, Josiah Royce, who first aroused my interest in this subject, and who never failed to give me encouragement and wise counsel. Much that is best in this book is due to him.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. Embark on a captivating journey into the realm of symbolic logic, tracing its evolution from its nascent stages to its sophisticated modern form. This book delves into the historical roots of this discipline, highlighting the pioneering contributions of figures like Leibniz, De Morgan, and Boole, who laid the groundwork for a systematic approach to reasoning. Explore the intricacies of the Boole-SchrÃÂ der algebra of logic, a cornerstone of symbolic logic, and uncover its applications in various domains, including the analysis of classes, propositions, and relations. The author masterfully guides you through the nuances of systems based on material implication and the calculus of propositional functions, illuminating the power of symbolic logic as a tool for rigorous deduction. Delve deeper into the system of strict implication, exploring its fundamental ideas, propositions, and consequences. The author delves into the transformation of strict and material relations, shedding light on the intricate relationship between symbolic logic, logistic, and mathematical methods. This comprehensive exploration culminates in a profound understanding of the profound impact of symbolic logic on shaping our understanding of rational thought and its applications in diverse fields.
