    The history of logic describes the development of logic from ancient times, when formal logics were first developed in China, India, and Greece, to modern times. Aristotle's logic was influential for millennia but declined between the 14th and 19th centuries. Logic was revived in the mid-19th century and transformed into a rigorous, formal discipline through the work of philosophers like Boole, Frege, Russell, and Peano. Their contributions to symbolic and mathematical logic in the late 19th and early 20th centuries represented one of the most important intellectual developments in history. This progress had significant impacts on various fields of philosophy from the 1950s onward.

    History of logic

    The history of logic is the study of the development of the science of valid inference (logic). Formal
    logics were developed in ancient times in China, India, and Greece. Greek methods,
    particularly Aristotelian logic (or term logic) as found in the Organon, found wide application and
    acceptance in science and mathematics for millennia.[1] The Stoics, especially Chrysippus, were the
    first to develop predicate logic.
    Aristotle's logic was further developed by Christian and Islamic philosophers in the Middle Ages,
    such as Boethius or William of Ockham, reaching a high point in the mid-fourteenth century. The
    period between the fourteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth century was largely one
    of decline and neglect, and is regarded as barren by at least one historian of logic. [2] Empirical
    methods seemed to rule the day, as evidenced by Bacon's Novum Organon.
    Logic was revived in the mid-nineteenth century, at the beginning of a revolutionary period when the
    subject developed into a rigorous and formal discipline whose exemplar was the exact method of
    proof used in mathematics, a hearkening back to the Greek tradition.[3] The development of the
    modern "symbolic" or "mathematical" logic during this period by the likes of Boole,Frege, Russell,
    and Peano is the most significant in the two-thousand-year history of logic, and is arguably one of
    the most important and remarkable events in human intellectual history.[4]
    Progress in mathematical logic in the first few decades of the twentieth century, particularly arising
    from the work of Gdel and Tarski, had a significant impact on analytic philosophy and philosophical
    logic, particularly from the 1950s onwards, in subjects such as modal logic, temporal logic, deontic
    logic, andrelevance logic.
