Bernard Linsky is one of the world’s foremost historians of the foundations of mathematical logic in the
early 20th century. His incisive analyses have led to an extensive reconsideration of the received view of
the way logic has impacted mathematics and philosophy. His innovative manuscript research has also
opened, for the first time, essential works in the history of mathematical logic to direct study by anyone versed in
modern logic.
LINSKY, Bernard – Department of Philosophy, University of Alberta
Bernard Linsky est un des plus éminents historiens des fondements de la logique mathématique du début
du XXe siècle. Ses analyses pénétrantes ont conduit à une importante réévaluation des interprétations
traditionnelles de l’impact de la logique sur les mathématiques et la philosophie. Ses recherches novatrices
de manuscrits ont également permises, pour la première fois, l’étude d’oeuvres essentielles de l’histoire de la logique
mathématique par des spécialistes de la logique moderne.
