| Summary |
This volume offers English translations of three early works by Ernst Schroder (1841-1902), a mathematician and logician whose philosophical ruminations and pathbreaking contributions to algebraic logic attracted the admiration and ire of figures such as Dedekind, Frege, Husserl, and C.S. Peirce. Today he still engages the sympathetic interest of logicians and philosophers. The works translated record Schroders journey out of algebra into algebraic logic and document his transformation of George Booles opaque and unwieldy logical calculus into what we now recognize as Boolean algebra. Readers interested in algebraic logic and abstract algebra can look forward to a tour of the early history of those fields with a guide who was exceptionally thorough, unfailingly honest, and deeply reflective |
