Rolando Chuaqui Kettlun, Logic in Chile, Mathematics in Chile, Alfred Tarski, Newton da CostaAbstract
The study by Wilfredo Quezada Pulido and Carlo Apablaza Ávila offers a comprehensive reconstruction of Rolando Chuaqui Kettlun’s career, articulating his intellectual biography, philosophical work, and interdisciplinary contributions. It highlights his role in the development of logic and mathematics in Chile and clarifies his formative and collaborative ties with Alfred Tarski and Newton da Costa.
