description: This book is an attempt to trace the development of formal logic from its origin with the Greeks to the present day. In the first eight chapters the authors discuss the work of the great logicians from Aristotle to Frege, showing how it was influenced by the philosophical or the mathematical ideas of their time, and explain the contribution of lesser writers to the maintenance of the tradition. Some of the material which they reproduce in this part is not easily available elsewhere. The last four chapters are concerned with developments in the present century.
