The Cartesian Semantics of the Port-Royal Logic is a scholarly work by John N. Martin, first published in 2019 by Routledge. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the semantics of the Port-Royal Logic (La Logique ou l’Art de penser), a key 17th-century text written by Antoine Arnauld and Pierre Nicole, which significantly influenced the development of logic and philosophy in the 17th and 18th centuries.[1]
