From algebra to universal logic: discover how symbols and rules shape reasoning.
This book traces the rise of symbolic logic from early ideas about arithmetic and a general language of thought to the modern notion of a calculus for reasoning. It explains how thinkers like Leibniz envisioned a universal characteristic and a calculus ratiocinator, and shows how later work by Boole, De Morgan, Frege, Peano, Russell, and others built on that vision. The result is a clear, practical look at the algebra of logic and its role in mathematics and philosophy.
