Abstract

Among the many aspects of the logical and foundationalistic work of Peano, there is one which, though not ignored, seems not yet to have attracted all the attention it deserves: that which deals with metalogic. Yet the relationship between Peano and this basic theme is decisive both for full appreciation of his work, and for a genuine understanding of its destiny. While he was, indeed, — as we will try to show — one of the genuine founders also of this logical discipline, it was precisely its development that played a decisive role in the decline and even the disappearance from the international scene of his logical tradition.
