The Development of Logic

by William Kneale, Martha Kneale

The primary purpose of this book has not been to recount all that past scholars have said about the science, but rather to record the first appearances of those ideas which seem most important in the logic of our own day.

[Ali Reda]

One of the longest, hardest and most rewarding books that I have ever read. Complex, comprehensive, full of details and challenging. I left it for a whole year then got back to it. A must read for any one who is interested in the History of Logic, most importantly the pre-Frege eras.

کاملِ کامل نخوندمش، بخش‌هایی رو که لازم داشتم و خوندم خیلی خوب بودن. دیدم رو گسترده‌تر کردن نسبت به تاریخ منطق. کاش ترجمه بشه. با نگاه غالب در ایران فرق داره به نظرم.

[Elias Dourado]

Dos livros mais gerais, este é o mais interessante para se entender a história da lógica.

[يوسف نجيب]

رحلة مكثفة مفصلة.

[Savio Misael]

Livro muito bom, pena que teve poucas páginas para abordar a teoria de Godel.

[Andrew Corrie]

A fine work with all you could ever want to know. The one drawback for me was the lack of translations from Latin, especially in the chapters on the mediaeval schoolmen. William of Ockham tweets:

Dicendum est igitur quod quodlibet universale est una res singularis et ideo non est universale nisi per significantionem quia est signum plurium.
