SUO: Re: CG: Foundations of mathematics





For those of you interested in a comprehensive history of late nineteenth-
and early twentieth-century efforts to come to an understanding of
mathematical logic and its relation to mathematics, see:

Grattan-Guinness, Ivor. The Search for Mathematical Roots, 1870-1940:
	Logics, Set Theories and the Foundations of Mathematics from
	Cantor through Russell to Goedel. Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton
	University Press, 2000.

As a side note, Grattan-Guinness contributed a paper on Peirce, "Peirce
between Logic and Mathematics," to a volume of papers from the Charles S.
Peirce Sesquicentennial International Congress held at Harvard University
in 1989:

Houser, Nathan, Don D. Roberts, and James Van Evra, eds. Studies in the
	Logic of Charles Sanders Peirce. Bloomington and Indianapolis:
	Indiana University Press, 1997.
