First edition of the first German translation of Quetelet's main work (Sur L'Homme et le Développement de ses Facultés, 1835), which founded a new statistical science. "With Quetelet's work of 1835 a new era in statistics began. It presented a new technique of statistics or, rather the first technique at all...There were not very many statistical figures in the book, but each figure reported made sense. For every number, Quetelet tried to find the determining influences, its natural Causes, and the pertubations caused by man. The work gave a description of the average man as both a static and a dynamic phenomenon...Quetelet's impact on 19th century thinking can in a certain sense be… Read More

First printing of Quine and Goodman's important paper in which they set themself the ambitious task of rephrasing all scientific theories in a language with an ontology consisting of objects in space-time. They state that: "We do not believe in abstract entities. No one supposes that abstract entities - classes, relations, properties, etc. - exists in space-time; but we mean more than this. We renounce them altogether. We cannot use variables that call for abstract objects as value". (From the introduction to the present paper).

XV, (1), 294 pp. First edition of Quine's main work, in which he introduces the notorious indeterminacy of translation thesis. This is the most philosophical of all of Quine's works, and it has greatly affected the development of logic, philosophy of language and mathematics and analytic philosophy in general.It is in this work that Quine propounds his "indeterminacy of translation"-thesis, which became central in the development of philosophy of language. "Language is a social art. In acquiring it we have to depend on intersubjectively available cues such as to what to say and when. Hence there is no justification for collating… Read More

XVII, (5), 264 pp. The book which resulted from the advanced undergraduate course in logic that the important analytic philosopher Willard Van Orman Quine (1908-2000) taught from the end of World War II until his retirement in 1978 at Havard University.

1937. (Wisconsin), The Association for Symbolic Logic, 1937. Lex8vo. Original printed wrappers, no backstrip. In "The Journal of Symbolic Logic, Volume 3, 1938." Entire issue offered. Internally very fine and clean. [Quine:] Pp. 37-40; Pp. 125-39. [Entire issue: IV, 212 pp.]. First printing of these papers which include Kleene's milestone paper in which Kleene's O (Ordial numbers), a recursive function, is introduced. In set theory and computability theory, Kleene's is a canonical subset of the natural numbers when regarded as ordinal notations."In the seventeenth century, Leibniz envisaged a universal language that would allow one to reduce mathematical proofs to simple computations. Then, during the nineteenth century, llgicians such as Charles Babbage, Boole, Frege and Peano tried to formalize mathematical reasoning by an "algebraization" of logic. Finally, [...] Gödel, Church and Stephen Kleene introduced the notion of recursive functions. (The Princeston Companion to Mathematics. P. 111).
