Haack’s study on Lambert, which is primarily based on Karl Krienelke’s book Lamberts Philosophie der Mathematik (1909), portrays Lambert as a forerunner of inductive logic (Wilhelm Traugott Krug, Bernard Bolzano, Wilhelm Wundt) and of algebraic logic (George Boole, William Stanley Jevons, Ernst Schröder). Further publications by Haack (Buschmann) are not known.
