  1. The logic of leibniz’s generales inquisitiones de analysi notionum et veritatum.Marko Malink & Anubav Vasudevan - 2016 - Review of Symbolic Logic 9 (4):686-751.
    TheGenerales Inquisitiones de Analysi Notionum et Veritatumis Leibniz’s most substantive work in the area of logic. Leibniz’s central aim in this treatise is to develop a symbolic calculus of terms that is capable of underwriting all valid modes of syllogistic and propositional reasoning. The present paper provides a systematic reconstruction of the calculus developed by Leibniz in theGenerales Inquisitiones. We investigate the most significant logical features of this calculus and prove that it is both sound and complete with respect to (...)

  • Divine mathematics: Leibniz's combinatorial theory of compossibility.Jun Young Kim - 2024 - Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A 106 (C):60-69.
    Leibniz's famous proposition that God has created the best of all possible worlds holds a significant place in his philosophical system. However, the precise manner in which God determines which world is the best remains somewhat ambiguous. Leibniz suggests that a form of "Divine mathematics" is employed to construct and evaluate possible worlds. In this paper, I uncover the underlying mechanics of Divine mathematics by formally reconstructing it. I argue that Divine mathematics is a one-player combinatorial game, in which God's (...)

  • Logic and Mathematics in the Seventeenth Century.Massimo Mugnai - 2010 - History and Philosophy of Logic 31 (4):297-314.
    According to the received view (Bocheński, Kneale), from the end of the fourteenth to the second half of nineteenth century, logic enters a period of decadence. If one looks at this period, the richness of the topics and the complexity of the discussions that characterized medieval logic seem to belong to a completely different world: a simplified theory of the syllogism is the only surviving relic of a glorious past. Even though this negative appraisal is grounded on good reasons, it (...)
