"Boole invented the first practical system of logic in algebraic form, which enabled more advances in logic to be made in the decades of the nineteenth century than in the twenty-two centuries preceding. Boole's work led to the creation of se t theory and probability theory in mathematics, to the philosophical work of Peirce, Russell, Whitehead and Wittgenstein and to computer technology via the master's thesis of C.E. Shannon (1937), who recognized that the true/false values in Boole's two-v alued algebra were analogous to the open and closed states of electric circuits. This invention of the binary digit or 'bit' made possible the development of the digital computer" [Norman Catalog].

Copies also exist without the supplementary seventh book at the end ("De fato siderali vitando"), surreptitiously added by the Dominican friars Ridolfi and Riccardi without Campanel la's knowledge in order to damage Campanella's standing with Urban VIII. This was probably printed in Rome by Andrea Brugiotti. Campanella entered the Dominican order in 1582, where his name was changed from Giovan Domenico to Tomasso. He forged a comple x non-Aristotelian philosophical and theological system in writings that covered a broad range of subjects, his work on political philosophy and metaphysics (Civitas solis) being best known. Attracted from early on to the scientific writings of Telesio in his De rerum naturae, Campanella grafted strong theological and metaphysical elements onto Telesio's ideas. Like Ficino and other neo-Platonists he placed man in a macrocosm-microcosm framework in which magic and astrology pla yed a central interpretive role. "Like Ficino, but unlike Telesio, his world view allowed a key position to astrology and pseudoscience, as evidenced by works such as De sensu rerum et magia (1620) and Astrologicorum libri VI (1 629). The latter work shows that Campanella acted as a consultant for Pope Urban VIII in astrological matters" [DSB Supplement: 69]. 1 pound 4 ounces = 580 grams. 9.7 x 6.6 x 0.8 inches = 24.3 x 16.5 x 2cm.

One of the most important treatises on scientific method. In 1661 Glanvill published his first book, The Vanity of Dogmatizing, in which he developed a range of sceptical views about ancient and modern philosophy, which resulted in Baxter and Henry More both becoming close friends. The English Catholic thinker Thomas White (the "Albius" in the title) attacked Glanvill's scepticism in his 1663 Sciri, in response to which Glanvill wrote this more extended version of The Vanity, which led to his election to the Royal Society. Citing the range of sceptical literature from Sextus Empiricus to Montaigne, Sanchez, Charron, and Gassendi, Glanvill emphasized the problem of gaining indubitable knowledge through the senses. "He argued that in order to really know anything in the dogmatists' sense, one would have to know things in terms of their causes. But we do not see causal connections. In fact we only judge about causes in terms of constant conjunctions and concomitancies. This can never give us complete certainty since it is always possible that things can actually be otherwise than we think. The 'vanity of dogmatizing' is having complete confidence in what is actually uncertain. The Aristotelians, the Ca rtesians and the Hobbesian materialists all think that they know about nature as it really is. However, a good dose of scepticism applied to their beliefs shows that they are only offering opinions that are not certain, and uncertainties to not constitut e science" [Richard H. Popkins' article on Glanvill in Pyle, I: p. 341].
