| Summary: | The contributions to logic of MacColl and Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) were the two most profound influences upon the work of Ernst Schröder (1841-1902) in algebraic logic. In his Vorlesungen über die Algebra der Logik, Schröder referred to MacColl as one of his most important precursors. Schröder compared Peirce’s considerations with the early parts of MacColl’s series of papers “The calculus of equivalent statements” (published between 1877 and 1880), and he attributed to MacColl priority for having anticipated Peirce’s results. For Schröder, MacColl’s calculus was a preliminary stage of Peirce’s algebra of logic. |
