"The author presents Bolzano's logic inside a formal system expressed in Hilbert's epsilon calculus. This is clearly a definitive work on the subject, with an excellent bibliography" -- Victor V. Pambuccian, Mathematical Reviews

"Casari's book is the most complete, the most innovative and exciting work on Bolzano's logical system. Better than previous works on this subject, it shows the complexity and the depth of Bolzanos thought as well as its pitfalls." -- Jan Sebestik, History and Philosophy of Logic
