"""This volume brings to light the continuing importance of the syllogism in the development of logic in the nineteenth century. It gives much deserved attention to many neglected figures as well as deepens our understanding of Frege and much of the logical research that followed him into the twentieth century."" --Sean Morris, Professor of Philosophy, MSU Denver, USA ""This is an excellent collection of papers, deepening our understanding of the important role, all too often overlooked, that engagements with traditional syllogistic logic played in the development of modern logic. It opens up a whole range of issues that will set the agenda for future historical and philosophical research."" --Michael Beaney, Regius Professor of Logic, University of Aberdeen, UK, and Professor of History of Analytic Philosophy, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany ""By showing that the founding figures of modern mathematical logic have also infused new life to the old Aristotelian doctrine of the syllogism, these essays invite us to rethink the contrast between modern and traditional logic. Authored by a team of world-class experts, the collection is an important addition to the history of logic and testifies to the liveliness and versatility of Aristotle's logical views."" --Paolo Fait, Anthony Quinton Fellow and Tutor in Classical Philosophy, New College, University of Oxford, UK"
