A History of Positional Logic

This paper offers a comprehensive historical study of positional logic, a branch of logic that is closely intertwined with temporal and epistemic logic. Given its significance in the realm of philosophical logic, there is a notable absence of a thorough historical analysis of this subject. To address this gap, our work aims to provide a detailed examination of the most important systems of positional logic, highlighting key results in the field, and offering a comprehensive list of publications that have contributed to the development of positional logic.
