Logic has attained in our century a development incomparably
greater than in any past age of its long history, and this has led
to such an enrichment and proliferation of its aspects, that the
problem of some kind of unified recom prehension of this discipline
seems nowadays unavoidable. This splitting into several subdomains
is the natural consequence of the fact that Logic has intended to
adopt in our century the status of a science. This always implies
that the general optics, under which a certain set of problems used
to be con sidered, breaks into a lot of specialized sectors of
inquiry, each of them being characterized by the introduction of
specific viewpoints and of technical tools of its own. The first
impression, that often accompanies the creation of one of such
specialized branches in a diSCipline, is that one has succeeded in
isolating the 'scientific core' of it, by restricting the somehow
vague and redundant generality of its original 'philosophical'
configuration. But, after a while, it appears that some of the
discarded aspects are indeed important and a new specialized domain
of investigation is created to explore them. By follOwing this
procedure, one finally finds himself confronted with such a variety
of independent fields of research, that one wonders whether the
fact of labelling them under a common denomination be nothing but
the contingent effect of a pure historical tradition."
