Universal Algebra, in precisely this sense, is a poor framework
for mathematics insofar as it unites spatial manifolds and
symbolic logic by introducing the common notion of an algebraic manifold (Whitehead's terminology) or a semi-group (current standard terminology), an object with very little structure or intrinsic interest.9 In this case, generalization comes at the expense of abstract sterility.
Why does
symbolic logic hold such a privileged position
for Whitehead?
It was there that he collaborated with Bertrand Russell
for ten years to produce Principia Mathematica, a treatise on
symbolic logic.
In that revolutionary address he unified geometry and physics into a single set of axioms by
symbolic logic.2 While the memoir does not comment theologically, it does propose a theory of intersection points, or interpoints, which in its mathematical abstraction suggests a lucid and stimulating model
for projecting Whitehead's understanding of God's relation to space.
His calculus
for manipulating those equations, he showed, «is exactly analogous to the calculus of propositions used in the
symbolic study of
logic.»
In 1937 he produced, in the words of mathematician Solomon Golomb, «one of the greatest master's theses ever,» establishing the connection between
symbolic logic and the math
for describing such circuitry.
Heilmann, who is to have a solo exhibition at Whitechapel Gallery in London in 2016, told Tate ETC in 2011 that «looking at abstract art is
for me like doing non-verbal philosophy,
symbolic logic or non-number mathematics».
I was looking
for something in my home library and found a Dover edition (published in 1959) paperback of a 1932 text on
Symbolic Logic.
