Footnote

The stability of logie over time, from Aristotle to Boole, and the continual change since Boole is noted. For information science, the relative stability of forms of writing over the same period and the intensive developments in writing and message transmission (shorthand, the telegraph, codes for telegraphic transmission, the telephone, and the Internet) since the mid-nineteenth century represent parallel developments. Communication models, from the Aristotelian view of writing as a secondary symbolism for oral speech to Shannon's information theory, have characteristically developed after the technologies they can be used to describe. Information theory developed from wartime cryptography, played a part in the creation of information science, and remained influential in its early development, with some indications of revival. A theme explored by Davis in the logicians' biographies given is of discordance between the qualities required for intellectual eminence and social adjustment. An insistence an questioning practices and seeking fundamental issues can be socially disruptive: Gödel, for instance, famously questioned the consistency of the United States Constitution during his citizenship examination (p. 137). In some instances, the logical contradictions explored reflect or project the logician's biography: most obviously, Russell was both a member of a class and not a member of a dass; themes of exile can be detected in Gödel's work. The intensity with which these paradoxes are pursued may indicate the extent to which their possible biographical source was not fully known to the pursuer (Freud, 1990). A crucial issue might revolve around the idea of acceptance: the potential productivity of questioning and possibly rejecting the current state of affairs in intellectual activities; and the destructiveness of continual questioning in social life. In conclusion, the book is to be recommended for its lucidity and intelligibility and for the interest of its personalization. It could be used as supplementary reading for historical awareness in information science programs."
