Formal Logic and the Structures of Mathematical Reasoning

The proposed book takes formal logic and formal models as one coherent problem rather than two disconnected topics. Historical and contemporary materials are used selectively, giving the reader enough conceptual depth to judge competing explanations. The emphasis is on formal logic viewed through formal models, with close interpretation, relevant primary texts, competing schools of thought, and contextual documentation. How do methods of measurement shape the conclusions that readers draw?
