Second edition. 8vo. xxii, 567 pp. Illus., extensive bibliog., index. Maroon cloth, gilt spine. FINE. Joseph Maria Bochenski's main work was first published in 1956. After a systematic introduction, it contains in its four main sections the problematic history of Greek, scholastic, mathematical and Indian logic, which is presented on the basis of original documents.

Thus the work, with its several hundred texts and their explanations, is also an easily readable textbook of logic that enables every learner to understand the basic doctrines, problems and theories of this science from its development and its various formations. Bochenski was a Polish-Swiss philosopher and logician. "In addition to a number of works on questions of philosophy and the history of philosophy, Bochenski's work on logic is of particular importance. His historical research on logic, which he carried out over decades, culminated in the publication of a comprehensive textbook on the history of logic. Following Jan Lukasiewicz, Bochenski organically combined the classical syllogistic of Aristotle with the modern logical calculus. The comparative analysis of the logic of Theophrastus and Aristotle led to fundamental insights into modal logic and its history. He achieved lasting results in the presentation of syntactic categories".…
