This volume collects 22 essays on the history of logic written by
outstanding specialists in the field. The book was originally
prompted by the 2018-2019 celebrations in honor of Massimo Mugnai,
a world-renowned historian of logic, whose contributions on
Medieval and Modern logic, and to the understanding of the logical
writings of Leibniz in particular, have shaped the field in the
last four decades. Given the large number of recent contributions
in the history of logic that have some connections or debts with
Mugnai's work, the editors have attempted to produce a volume
showing the vastness of the development of logic throughout the
centuries. We hope that such a volume may help both the specialist
and the student to realize the complexity of the history of logic,
the large array of problems that were touched by the discipline,
and the manifold relations that logic entertained with other
subjects in the course of the centuries. The contributions of the
volume, in fact, span from Antiquity to the Modern Age, from
semantics to linguistics and proof theory, from the discussion of
technical problems to deep metaphysical questions, and in it the
history of logic is kept in dialogue with the history of
mathematics, economics, and the moral sciences at large.
