1950023566Mexico: Universidad Nacional Autonoma de México 1950. INSCRIBED to Prof. Alonzo Church and SIGNED by the author "con los respetos de Zubieta R." Very Good condition. This dissertation/tesis was reviewed by Robert Feys in Church's Journal of Symbolic Logic Volume 15 Issue 3 1950 200. From Matemáticos en Mexico: "El trabajo de Zubieta pronto cruzó la frontera. Por sugerencia de Quine éste fue presentado a Alonzo Church4 quien invitó a Robert Feys lógico de la universidad de Lovaina a presentar un comentario sobre el mismo en el Journal of Symbolic Logic a la sazón la revista de mayor prestigio en el área de lógica. En 1953 Zubieta fue a Princeton para ocupar el cargo de ayudante de investigador de Alonzo Church quien alguna vez diría de Zubieta que era el único lógico latino que escribía con rigor. Church lo cita en la introducción de su libro5 por sus observaciones y participación en el proyecto." This volume was among several dozen books from Alonzo Church's library that we were lucky enough to purchase at auction in New Jersey. Alonzo Church 1903 - 1995 was professor of mathematics at Princeton University 1929-1967 and of mathematics and philosophy at UCLA 1967-1990. He was the founding editor of the JOURNAL OF SYMBOLIC LOGIC. Among his most influential contributions are Church's Theorem Church's Thesis and the Lambda Calculus. His work was of major importance in mathematical logic recursion theory theoretical computer science and functional programming languages in general. Professor Church's creation of lambda calculus was the foundation for the LISP programming language and provided the semantic model for ALGOL. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences British Academy and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Church is regarded by many as the greatest American logician of the 20th century.

1949023567Lisboa: Universidade de Lisboa 1949.

Good condition. Paper clip mark on the title page from attached index card written in the hand of Alonzo Church. Separata da Revista da Faculdade de Letras de Lisboa Tomo XIV - 2 Serie No 3. From Wikipedia: "For Edmundo Curvelo forty years of life and ten publications were enough to mark the history of Portuguese thought; in general through work in the field of logic in particular through the endeavor to logify psychology. According to him Psychology would only gain the status of Science to the extent that it was allowed to logify because for Professor Abrantes science is a logical construction. To logify any subject is to discover the stable structures that have the language that can represent that any subject faithfully. The work he built on logic is all the more remarkable as it is known that the area of logic was not in the history of Portuguese thought an area of great development. Not to underline that at the time it was the occupation of very few. In his research area he fought the current. Professor Manuel Curado 2001 pointedly points out in the History of Portuguese Philosophical Thought that Edmundo Curvelo was the best Portuguese logician of the twentieth century and beyond: For better and worse Curvelo is the logic of the twentieth century. Portugal. Curado 2001: 345. Whether before or after nothing more significant is in the history of Portuguese twentieth-century logic than the work of the Alentejo teacher."

1959508<p><strong>Large Octavo. Publisher's cloth & dustwrapper. First edition first printing of one of the most significant works on the philosophy of science. The Logic of Scientific Discovery was originally published in Germany in 1934 and Popper rewrote and republished it in English in 1959 with the New York edition preceding this much rarer UK edition. A fine copy in an unclipped slightly worn and faded very good dust wrapper. Small inscription on the front pastedown of David Keyt 1930-2025 Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Washington University Seattle. The book is mostly unopened and looks mostly unread. A very nice copy. Popper argues that science should adopt a methodology based on falsifiability because no number of experiments can ever prove a theory but a reproducible experiment or observation can refute one. According to Popper: "non-reproducible single occurrences are of no significance to science. Thus a few stray basic statements contradicting a theory will hardly induce us to reject it as falsified. We shall take it as falsified only if we discover a reproducible effect which refutes the theory". Popper argues that science should adopt a methodology based on "an asymmetry verifiability and falsifiability; an asymmetry which results from the logical form of universal statements. For these are never derivable from singular statements but can be contradicted by singular statements".</strong></p> Hutchinson hardcover
