Talk:List of logicians
|
|
I borrowed all of the formatting here from List of mathematicians. I also preserved some of the enteries. Counting set theory as a part of mathematical logic I have kept set theoriticians on the list.
I am sure that the list is woefully incomplete. I also have not gone around (yet) and placed links to the list.
I put this up because I had no where to put a link my recently created Leon Henkin. Perhaps it might not seem that a seperate list of logicians (over and above the mathematcians list) is needed. But
- Some famous logicians aren't necessarily famous in the broader community of mathematicians (Henkin might well be an example), and
- A good many famous logicians are philosophers, linguists and computer scientists rather than mathematicians. Saul Kripke for example.

If people are going to use lists via the Recent Changes link, it is better to have them more rather than less inclusive. I'd say include anyone who you personally feel qualifies.
I have linked to this from the list of topics in logic. NB that there is a separate list of mathematical logic topics.
