How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T4107365 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07

Target entity: A Survey of Symbolic Logic
Context triple: [Clarence Irving Lewis, notableWork, A Survey of Symbolic Logic]

A. Symbolic Logic
Symbolic Logic is a foundational work in mathematical logic by John Venn that systematically develops and popularizes the use of diagrams and algebraic methods to represent logical relations.
B. From a Logical Point of View
From a Logical Point of View is a landmark collection of philosophical essays by W.V.O. Quine that helped reshape analytic philosophy, especially through its critique of the analytic–synthetic distinction and its naturalized approach to epistemology.
C. On a Problem of Formal Logic
"On a Problem of Formal Logic" is a seminal philosophical and mathematical paper by F. P. Ramsey that contributed to the foundations of logic and helped inspire what is now known as Ramsey theory.
D. The Logical Structure of the World
The Logical Structure of the World is Rudolf Carnap’s seminal 1928 work in which he develops a rigorous, formal reconstruction of all scientific concepts from a phenomenalist basis, serving as a foundational text of logical positivism.
E. The Logical Syntax of Language
The Logical Syntax of Language is Rudolf Carnap’s seminal 1934 work that systematically develops a formal, logical framework for analyzing the structure and rules of scientific languages, helping to found logical empiricism and modern philosophy of language.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
