References
Moreover there are the following forerunners of the Leibnizian conception of the logic of scientific knowledge: Lull (1235–1315) (the idea of the mechanization of the process of reasoning); Hobbes (reasoning as a computation); and Jungius who, in his Logica Hamburgensis (1638), tried to construct a theory of non-syllogistic inference similar to mathematical calculi.
In his Logical Syntax of Language Carnap wrote the following on this point: “the term ‘logic of science’ will be understood by us in the very wide sense, i.e., as including all those questions which are normally treated as pure and applied logic, as well as the logical analysis of specific sciences or of science as a whole, as well as the problem of foundations, etc.” [18; 280–281].
