杰文斯逻辑学思想及其在中国的传播

William S. Jevons’ Thought of Logic and Its Propagation in China

杰文斯是19世纪英国著名的数理经济学家,经济学边际效用理论的创始人之一。同时他对逻辑学有深入的研究,在其逻辑学说形成的过程中受到数学家布尔的启发,但杰文斯所持的逻辑学观点与布尔不尽相同。中国近代史上,西方逻辑学传入时严复对杰文斯的著作进行了翻译,大大推动了近代中国逻辑学的发展。

Jevons was a mathematical economist in the 19 th century, and had a deep research on logic. The famous Chinese scholar Yan Fu translated Jevons’ works, therefore promoted the development of logic in China.
