Enriched Edition. Logic, Puzzles, and MindBy Lewis Carroll
Length8h 34m
About this audiobook
Selected Mathematical Works gathers Charles Lutwidge Dodgson's principal excursions into logic and intellectual method: Symbolic Logic, The Game of Logic, and the essay Feeding the Mind. Together they reveal a rigorous yet playful thinker translating abstract reasoning into diagrams, puzzles, and orderly procedures. Written in lucid Victorian prose, these works belong to the nineteenth-century movement to formalize logic while also reflecting the pedagogical charm familiar from Lewis Carroll's imaginative fiction. Dodgson, better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was a mathematician and lecturer at Christ Church, Oxford, whose professional life was shaped by Euclidean discipline, classroom instruction, and a fascination with language's ambiguities. His nonsense literature and logical writings share a common origin: the conviction that rules, paradoxes, and verbal precision can disclose both intellectual delight and philosophical difficulty. This volume is recommended for readers who wish to encounter Carroll beyond Alice, especially students of logic, Victorian literature, mathematics, and the history of ideas. It offers not merely curiosities by a famous fabulist, but a coherent portrait of a mind devoted to clarity, play, and disciplined imagination.
