This edited volume presents a comprehensive history of modern logic
from the Middle Ages through the end of the twentieth century. In
addition to a history of symbolic logic, the contributors also
examine developments in the philosophy of logic and philosophical
logic in modern times. The book begins with chapters on late
medieval developments and logic and philosophy of logic from
Humanism to Kant. The following chapters focus on the emergence of
symbolic logic with special emphasis on the relations between logic
and mathematics, on the one hand, and on logic and philosophy, on
the other. This discussion is completed by a chapter on the themes
of judgment and inference from 1837-1936. The volume contains a
section on the development of mathematical logic from 1900-1935,
followed by a section on main trends in mathematical logic after
the 1930s. The volume goes on to discuss modal logic from Kant till
the late twentieth century, and logic and semantics in the
twentieth century; the philosophy of alternative logics; the
philosophical aspects of inductive logic; the relations between
logic and linguistics in the twentieth century; the relationship
between logic and artificial intelligence; and ends with a
presentation of the main schools of Indian logic.
The Development of Modern Logic includes many prominent
philosophers from around the world who work in the philosophy and
history of mathematics and logic, who not only survey developments
in a given period or area but also seek to make new contributions
to contemporary research in the field. It is the first volume to
discuss the field with this breadth of coverage and depth, and will
appeal to scholars and students of logic and itsphilosophy.
