Offering a bold new vision on the history of modern logic, Lukas M.
Verburgt and Matteo Cosci focus on the lasting impact of
Aristotle's syllogism between the 1820s and 1930s. For over two
millennia, deductive logic was the syllogism and syllogism was the
yardstick of sound human reasoning. During the 19th century, this
hegemony fell apart and logicians, including Boole, Frege and
Peirce, took deductive logic far beyond its Aristotelian borders.
However, contrary to common wisdom, reflections on syllogism were
also instrumental to the creation of new logical developments, such
as first-order logic and early set theory. This volume presents the
period under discussion as one of both tradition and innovation,
both continuity and discontinuity. Modern logic broke away from the
syllogistic tradition, but without Aristotle's syllogism, modern
logic would not have been born. A vital follow up to The Aftermath
of Syllogism, this book traces the longue duree history of
syllogism from Richard Whately's revival of formal logic in the
1820s through the work of David Hilbert and the Goettingen school
up to the 1930s. Bringing together a group of major international
experts, it sheds crucial new light on the emergence of modern
logic and the roots of analytic philosophy in the 19th and early
20th centuries.
