Leibniz published the Dissertation on Combinatorial Art in 1666.
This book contains the seeds of Leibniz's mature thought, as well
as many of the mathematical ideas that he would go on to further
develop after the invention of the calculus. It is in the
Dissertation, for instance, that we find the project for the
construction of a logical calculus clearly expressed for the first
time. The idea of encoding terms and propositions by means of
numbers, later developed by Kurt Goedel, also appears in this work.
In this text, furthermore, Leibniz conceives the possibility of
constituting a universal language or universal characteristic, a
project that he would pursue for the rest of his life. Mugnai, van
Ruler, and Wilson present the first full English translation of the
Dissertation, complete with a critical introduction and a
comprehensive commentary.
