Survey of Precursors Of Category Theory • 5

A few years ago I began a sketch on the “Precursors of Category Theory”, tracing the continuities of the category concept from Aristotle, to Kant and Peirce, through Hilbert and Ackermann, to contemporary mathematical practice.  A Survey of resources on … Continue reading

Transformations of Logical Graphs • Discussion 1

Re: Laws of Form • Mauro Bertani Dear Mauro, The couple of pages linked below give the clearest and quickest introduction I’ve been able to manage so far when it comes to the elements of logical graphs, at least, in … Continue reading
