>>25301067I'm really getting into logic this year. Goal is to get fluent in first and second order logic this year. I'm reading Dick Van Dalen's "logic and structure". It's somewhat math heavy but I'm enjoying it. Can you recommend a lighter, more philosophical text for parallel reading? I don't want to get bogged down by abstraction and lose critical philosophical insights.

>>25301334Nta, but have you heard of Jacob Klein's "Greek Mathematical Thought and the Origin of Algebra"? If not, that might be up your alley as an interesting related case study.
