A notion, argued by Rene Descartes, is that our thought follows the rules of logic. In a narrative that travels from ancient times to today, this book shows how the concept of the mind as a logic machine developed and came to be so widely accepted.
"[Goodbye, Descartes] is certain to attract attention and controversy..a fascinating journey to the edges of logical thinking and beyond." -Publishers Weekly (???)

Highly recommended." -Choice "[Devlin] has found an interesting way of exhibiting how mathematics is unified . the author's presentation is a tour de force." -Mathematical Reviews A Selection of the Newbridge Library of Science and Reader's Subscription
