Description

This book is not a conventional history of mathematics as such, a museum of documents and scientific curiosities.

Instead, it identifies this vital science with the thought of those who constructed it and in its relation to the changing cultural context in which it evolved.

Particular emphasis is placed on the philosophic and logical systems, from Aristotle onward, that provide the basis for the fusion of mathematics and logic in contemporary thought.
