Who this is
“A man almost nobody read, lecturing to nearly empty rooms, quietly built the machinery that now runs every logic course, every programming language, and every database on Earth — and answered the destruction of his life's work with the most honest sentence in the history of thought.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“Logic, rebuilt from the ground up, can reveal the hidden structure of thought and language — and arithmetic itself may be nothing but logic in disguise.”
