Abstract

An interesting restatement of the classical logic of concepts, judgments, and arguments, employing a number of helpful new symbolic devices, together with a brief sketch of contemporary logistic and its relations to logic. The author argues that logistic, like mathematics, has to do with uninterpreted formal calculi, which may or may not be interpreted logically, whereas logic concerns the identity of concepts; logistic calculi, far from replacing logic, are said instead to presuppose it. Such conclusions are certainly controversial, but they are diligently established and deserve careful study.--V. C. C.
