In his Treatise On the Preparation and Delivery of Sermons, the Southern Baptist preacher and educator of the latter nineteenth century, John A. Broadus, acknowledged the influence of classical and contemporary theorists upon his work. Among those named, particularly with regard to notions of argument, was Richard Whately, the Anglican Archbishop and rhetorical theorist of the early nineteenth century. The research task involved in this thesis was to determine whether and to what extent Whately's theory of argument was employed in Broadus's homiletic theory and practice. The writer gathered his data using methods of documentary research. Most of the sources were available at local libraries. Others, however, were obtained from the Universities of Kansas, Iowa, and Michigan. Materials by and concerning Broadus were obtained from various Baptist historical agencies.

This has its beginning attributed to the autodidactic English mathematician George Boole (1815-1864), especially because his books The Mathematical Analysis of Logic (1847) and An Investigation of the Laws of Thought (1854) are recognized as the inaugural works of the referred branch. However, surprisingly, in the same time another mathematician called Augutus of Morgan (1806-1871) it also published a book, entitled Formal Logic (1847), in defense of the mathematic logic. Even so, times later on this same century, another work named Elements of Logic (1875) it appeared evidencing the Aristotelian logic with Richard Whately (1787-1863), considered the better Aristotelian logical of that time. This way, our research, permeated by the history of the mathematics, it intends to study the logic produced by these submerged personages in the golden age of the mathematics (19th century) to we compare the valid systems in referred period and we clarify the origins of the mathematical logic. For that we looked for to delineate the panorama historical wrapper of this study. We described, shortly, biographical considerations about these three representatives of the logic of the 19th century formed an alliance with the exhibition of their point of view as for the logic to the light of the works mentioned above. In this sense, we aspirated to present considerations about what effective Aristotelian?s logic existed in the period of Boole and De Morgan comparing it with the new emerging logic (the mathematical logic). Besides of this, before the textual analysis of the works mentioned above, we still looked for to confront the systems of Boole and De Morgan for we arrive to the reason because the Boole?s system was considered better and more efficient. Separate of this preponderance we longed to study the flaws verified in the logical system of Boole front to their contemporaries' production, verifying, for example, if they repeated or not. We concluded that the origins of the mathematical logic is in the works of logic of George Boole, because, in them, has the presentation of a new logic, matematizada for the laws of the thought similar to the one of the arithmetic, while De Morgan, in your work, expand the Aristotelian logic, but it was still arrested to her / O presente estudo tem como objetivo uma elucida??o das origens da l?gica matem?tica. Esta tem seu in?cio atribu?do ao matem?tico ingl?s autodidata George Boole (1815-1864), especialmente porque seus livros The Mathematical Analysis of Logic (1847) e An Investigation of the Laws of Thought (1854) s?o reconhecidos como as obras inaugurais do referido ramo. Contudo, curiosamente, na mesma ?poca um outro matem?tico chamado Augutus de Morgan (1806-1871) tamb?m lan?ou um livro, intitulado Formal Logic (1847), em defesa da matematiza??o da l?gica. Mesmo assim, tempos depois neste mesmo s?culo, uma outra obra nomeada Elements of Logic (1875) surgiu evidenciando a l?gica aristot?lica a partir da figura de Richard Whately (1787-1863), considerado o maior l?gico aristot?lico da ?poca. Desta forma, nossa pesquisa, permeada pela hist?ria da matem?tica, prop?e estudar a l?gica produzida por estes personagens imersos na idade ?urea da matem?tica (s?culo XIX) a fim de compararmos os sistemas vigentes no referido per?odo e clarificarmos as origens da l?gica matem?tica. Para isso buscamos delinear o panorama hist?rico envolt?rio deste estudo. Descrevemos, brevemente, considera??es biogr?ficas destes tr?s representantes da l?gica do s?culo XIX aliadas ? exposi??o de seus pontos de vista quanto ? l?gica ? luz das obras citadas acima. Neste sentido, aspiramos ainda apresentar considera??es acerca do que existia de l?gica aristot?lica vigente no per?odo de Boole e De Morgan comparando-a com a nova l?gica emergente (a l?gica matem?tica). Al?m disso, diante da an?lise textual das obras citadas acima, buscamos ainda confrontar os sistemas de Boole e De Morgan a fim de chegarmos ao motivo pelo o qual o de Boole ter sido considerado melhor e mais eficiente. ? parte desta preponder?ncia, almejamos estudar as falhas constatadas no sistema l?gico de Boole frente ? produ??o de seus contempor?neos, verificando, por exemplo, se elas se repetiram ou n?o. Conclu?mos que as origens da l?gica matem?tica residem nas obras de l?gica de George Boole, visto que, nelas, h? a apresenta??o de uma nova l?gica, matematizada pelas leis do pensamento an?logas ?s da aritm?tica, enquanto De Morgan conseguiu em seu trabalho expandir a l?gica aristot?lica, mas ainda esteve preso a ela
