"Hopkins brings all of the myriad concepts of Klein's analysis of the origins of logic and symbolic mathematics into play as he elucidates the significance of the roles algebra, logic, and symbolic analysis generally have played in the development of modern mathematics" -Mathematical Reviews, The Origin of the Logic of Symbolic Mathematics is a very important work. From an exegetical point of view it presents careful readings of an amazing amount of texts by Plato, Aristotle, Diophantus, Vieta, Stevin, Wallis, and Descartes and shows at the same time a profound knowledge of Husserl's earlier and later texts...., "Hopkins' detailed and careful readings of the texts make his book a source of numerous insights, and its erudition is breathtaking." -Husserl Studies, "A striking, original study... for the history of mathematics, our understanding of Husserlian phenomenology, and the concepts of formality and formalization." -- Robert B. Pippin, University of Chicago, "The Origin of the Logic of Symbolic Mathematics initiates a radical clarification of Fran ois Vieta's 17th century mathematical introduction of the formal-symbolic, which marks the revolution that made and continues to make possible modern mathematics and logic.

Synopsis
Hopkins explores how Husserl and Klein arrived at their conclusion and its philosophical implications for the modern project of formalizing all knowledge., Burt C. Hopkins presents the first in-depth study of the work of Edmund Husserl and Jacob Klein on the philosophical foundations of the logic of modern symbolic mathematics. Accounts of the philosophical origins of formalized concepts--especially mathematical concepts and the process of mathematical abstraction that generates them--have been paramount to the development of phenomenology. Both Husserl and Klein independently concluded that it is impossible to separate the historical origin of the thought that generates the basic concepts of mathematics from their philosophical meanings.

- t***l (163)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseItem arrived in exactly the condition I remembered it from working in the Kentucky Room (1987-2014). It was as described or actually better. Shipping was very fair and very fast as was lucky enough for the Lexington post office to not send it three states away as so often happens these days. The book was packaged perfectly, safe yet easy to open. The book was an excellent value, glad to have it yet I also have mixed feelings about being able to have it along with the other Madison Cawein books.
