Aristotle's Syllogistic; From the Standpoint of Modern Formal Logic
Oxford: At the Clarendon Press, 1951. First edition. Hardcover. 8vo. [5], vi-x, [3], 2-141, [3] pp. Bound in navy blue cloth with publisher's device and lettering in gold on the spine. Lukasiewicz first lectured on this topic in Cracow, Poland in June of 1939. Unfortunately, all of his books and manuscript materials were destroyed by the bombing that occurred during the German invasion of Poland later that year. In 1949, he revisited the topic in a series of lectures delivered at the University of Dublin culminating in the present book. The book is a fascinating exploration of Aristotle's logic through the lens of modern mathematical logic and is still frequently cited in scholarly work on Aristotle. An attractive copy of this important and influential exploration of Aristotle's logic by one of the leading early figures in mathematical logic. Very near Fine / Very Good. Item #00009519
A very near Fine book in a Very Good price-clipped dust jacket with mild darkening and a few spots to the spine panel and a closed tear to the bottom of the rear panel.
