Erhard Weigel's Contributions to the Formation of Symbolic Logic

History and Philosophy of Logic 34 (1):25-34 (2013)
Abstract The aspects of Erhard Weigel's Analysis Aristotelica ex Euclide restituta (1658) that foreshadowed and helped form some characteristics of symbolic logic are highlighted: first, the idea of a pure form of a logical syllogism or of a mathematical proof and, second, a tentative arithmetisation of some aspects of logic. Also, Weigel's emphasis on the role of symbols and figures in the process of mathematical proof is discussed
