Introduction to Higher Order Categorical Logic

by P.J. Scott, J. Lambek, P. J. Scott

Book Overview

In this book the authors reconcile two different viewpoints of the foundations of mathematics, namely mathematical logic and category theory. In Part I, they show that typed lambda-calculi, a formulation of higher order logic, and cartesian closed categories are essentially the same.
