    Work for the workers: Advances in engineering mechanics and instruction in France, 1800–1830.I. Grattan-Guinness - 1984 - Annals of Science 41 (1):1-33.
    An account is given of the emergence of the concept of work as a basic component of mechanics. It was largely an achievement of engineer savants in France during the Bourbon Restoration , with Navier, Coriolis and Poncelet playing the major roles. Some aspects of the eighteenth-century prehistory are described, and also concurrent developments in French engineering. The principal problem areas were friction, hydraulics, machine performance and ergonomics, and especially in the last context the developments became involved with social and (...)

    Wiener on the logics of Russell and Schröder.I. Grattan-Guinness - 1975 - Annals of Science 32 (2):103-132.
    SummaryIn June 1913 the 18-year-old Norbert Wiener presented to Harvard University a doctoral thesis comparing the logical systems of Schröder and Russell, with special reference to their treatment of relations. Shortly afterwards he visited Russell in Cambridge (England) and showed him a copy of the thesis. Russell wrote out some comments, to which Wiener replied.None of these documents has been published. In this paper I summarise the contents of Wiener's thesis, and describe and quote from the subsequent discussion with Russell. (...)

    The correspondence between george boole and stanley jevons, 1863–1864.I. Grattan-Guinness - 1991 - History and Philosophy of Logic 12 (1):15-35.
    Although the existence of correspondence between George Boole (1815?1864) and William Stanley Jevons (1835?1882) has been known for a long time and part was even published in 1913, it has never been fully noted; in particular, it is not in the recent edition of Jevons's letters and papers. The texts are transcribed here, with indication of their significance. Jevons proposed certain quite radical changes to Boole's system, which Boole did not accept; nevertheless, they were to become well established.

    Towards a biography of Georg Cantor.I. Grattan-Guinness - 1971 - Annals of Science 27 (4):345-391.
    The great influence of Georg Cantor's theory of sets and transfinite arithmetic has led to a considerable interest in his life. It is well known that he had a remarkable and unusual personality, and that he suffered from attacks of mental illness; but the ‘popular’ account of his life is richer in falsehood and distortion than in factual content. This paper attempts to correct these misrepresentations by drawing on a wide variety of manuscript sources concerning Cantor's life and career, including (...)

    The Russell Archives: Some new light on Russell's logicism.I. Grattan-Guinness - 1974 - Annals of Science 31 (5):387-406.
    This paper describes the materials in the Russell Archives relevant to Russell's work on logic and the foundations of mathematics, and suggests the kinds of information that may and may not be drawn about the historical development of his ideas. By way of illustration, a couple of episodes are described. The first concerns a logical system closely related to his theory of denoting, which preceeds the system used in Principia mathematics, while the second describes a delay in publishing the second (...)

    George Boole: Selected Manuscripts on Logic and its Philosophy.Ivor Grattan-Guinness & Gerard Bornet - 1997 - Springer Verlag.
    George Boole (1815-1864) is well known to mathematicians for his research and textbooks on the calculus, but his name has spread world-wide for his innovations in symbolic logic and the development and applications made since his day. The utility of "Boolean algebra" in computing has greatly increased curiosity in the nature and extent of his achievements. His work is most accessible in his two books on logic, "A mathematical analysis of logic" (1947) and "An investigation of the laws of thought" (...)

    The Scottish logician Hugh MacColl is well known for his innovative contributions to modal and nonclassical logics. However, until now little biographical information has been available about his academic and cultural background, his personal and professional situation, and his position in the scientific community of the Victorian era. The present article reports on a number of recent findings.

    Structural Similarity or Structuralism? Comments on Priest's Analysis of the Paradoxes of Self-Reference.I. Grattan-Guinness - 1998 - Mind 107 (428):823-834.
    Graham Priest argued that all the paradoxes of set theory and logic fall under one schema; and hence they should be solved by one kind of solution. This reply addresses both claims, and counters that in fact at least one paradox escapes the schema, and also some apparently "safe" theorems fall within it; and even for the range of paradoxes so captured by the schema, the assumption of a common solution is not obvious; each paradox surely depends upon the theory (...)

    The ingénieur savant, 1800–1830 A Neglected Figure in the History of French Mathematics and Science.I. Grattan-Guinness - 1993 - Science in Context 6 (2):405-433.
    The ArgumentThis paper deals with the achievements of those French mathematicians active in the period 1800–1830 who oriented their work specifically around the needs of engineering and technology. In addition to a review of their achievements, the principal organizations and institutions are noted, as is their importance as sources of employment and influence.The argument is centered on the word ‘neglected“ in the title. A case is made that a mass of work was produced which made considerable impact at the time (...)

    Psychology in the foundations of logic and mathematics: the cases of boole, cantor and brouwer.I. Grattan-Guinness - 1982 - History and Philosophy of Logic 3 (1):33-53.
    In this paper I consider three mathematicians who allowed some role for menial processes in the foundations of their logical or mathematical theories. Boole regarded his Boolean algebra as a theory of mental acts; Cantor permitted processes of abstraction to play a role in his set theory; Brouwer took perception in time as a cornerstone of his intuitionist mathematics. Three appendices consider related topics.

    Georg cantor's influence on bertrand russell.I. Grattan-Guinness - 1980 - History and Philosophy of Logic 1 (1-2):61-93.
    This paper is concerned with the influence that the set theory of Georg Cantor bore upon the mathematical logic of Bertrand Russell. In some respects the influence is positive, and stems directly from Cantor's writings or through intermediary figures such as Peano; but in various ways negative influence is evident, for Russell adopted alternative views about the form and foundations of set theory. After an opening biographical section, six sections compare and contrast their views on matters of common interest; irrational (...)

    Among the papers left by Bertrand Russell (1872?1970) and now held at the Russell Archives at McMaster University, is a large quantity of material on mathematical logic and the foundations of mathematics. This paper is a provisional survey of their extent and content. Some indications are given of their historical significance, and a discussion is added to the possible modes of their publication in the edition of Russell's Collected papers, currently in progress.

    Was Hugh MacColl a logical pluralist or a logical monist? A case study in the slow emergence of metatheorising.Ivor Grattan-Guinness - 2011 - Philosophia Scientiae 15:189-203.
    Dans la seconde moitié des années 1900, Bertrand Russell et Hugh MacColl échangèrent sans s’entendre sur les questions de l’implication et de l’existence, dans le cadre d’un débat plus général sur la nature de la logique. Il est tentant de voir dans cet échange une opposition entre le moniste logique Russell et le pluraliste MacColl. Dans cet article, j’affirme que cette interprétation est inexacte, et que les deux hommes étaient tous deux monistes, bien qu’ayant des allégeances différentes. La transition du (...)

    Symbolic logics tend to be too mathematical for the philosophers and too philosophical for the mathematicians; and their history is too historical for most mathematicians, philosophers and logicians. This paper reflects upon these professional demarcations as they have developed during the century.

    This article reviews the interactions between Russell and the English mathematician Max Newman. The most substantial one occurred in 1928, when Newman published some penetrating criticisms of Russell’s philosophy of science, and followed up with two long letters to Russell on logical knowledge and on the potential use of topology in physics. The exchange, which opened up some issues in Russell’s philosophy that he did not fully cope with either at the time or later, is transcribed here. Their joint involvements (...)
