In this course

Anthony Bonner is the principal modern translator and editor of Ramon Llull's works, making him essential to any engagement with Llull's combinatorial logic and early systems thinking in the course's genealogy of computational thought. His introductions and editorial apparatus frame Llull as a precursor to later algorithmic and mechanical philosophy, establishing the medieval roots of systematic knowledge-ordering that later cybernetics and AI would formalize. Bonner's scholarly work enables the readings to position Llull not as a historical curiosity but as a foundational figure in the attempt to mechanize reason itself.
