On the Syllogism : And Other Logical Writings Hardback
by Augustus De Morgan
Edited by Peter Heath
Part of the Routledge Revivals series
Hardback
Description
Originally published in 1966 On the Syllogism and Other Logical Writings assembles for the first time the five celebrated memoirs of Augustus De Morgan on the syllogism.
These are collected together with the more condensed accounts of his researches given in his Syllabus of a Proposed System of Logic an article on Logic contributed to the English Cyclopaedia.
De Morgan was among the most distinguished of nineteenth century British mathematicians but is chiefly remembered today as one of the founders of modern mathematical logic.
His writings on this subject have been little read, however since apart from his Formal Logic, they lie buried for the most part in inaccessible periodicals.
De Morgan’s own later amendments are inserted in the text and the editorial introduction gives a summary of the whole and traces in some detail the course of the once-famous feud with Sir William Hamilton of Edinburgh.
