Resumen
CASTRO-MANZANO, J. Martín. Re(dis)covering Leibniz’s Diagrammatic Logic. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2017, n.52, pp.89-116. ISSN 0188-6649. https://doi.org/10.21555/top.v0i52.760.
In this paper I attempt to retrieve Leibniz’s linear diagrammatic logic for his syllogistic and highlight its computational and logical features by providing a formal approach to it in metalogical terms, which is something that, as far as we know, has not yet been accomplished. Thus, in this contribution I pursue two goals, one historical and the other logical: i) to bring more attention on the algorithmic aspects of Leibniz’s linear diagrammatic system for his syllogistic, which I believe has been neglected because of a general bias against diagram-based reasoning; and ii) to prove the metalogical properties of the system in order to argue that such a system is a bona fide logical system.
