  • Constructivity and Computability in Historical and Philosophical Perspective

    Edited by Jacques Dubucs, Michel Bourdeau ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    Ranging from Alan Turing’s seminal 1936 paper to the latest work on Kolmogorov complexity and linear logic, this comprehensive new work clarifies the relationship between computability on the one hand and constructivity on the other. The authors argue that even though constructivists have largely shed Brouwer’s solipsistic attitude to logic, there remain points of disagreement to this day.Focusing ... Read more

  • Hilbert’s Program

    An Essay on Mathematical Instrumentalism

    by M. Detlefsen ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    Hilbert's Program was founded on a concern for the phenomenon of paradox in mathematics. To Hilbert, the paradoxes, which are at once both absurd and irresistible, revealed a deep philosophical truth: namely, that there is a discrepancy between the laws accord ing to which the mind of homo mathematicus works, and the laws governing objective mathematical fact. Mathematical epistemology is, ... Read more

  • Truthlikeness

    by I. Niiniluoto ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    The modern discussion on the concept of truthlikeness was started in 1960. In his influential Word and Object, W. V. O. Quine argued that Charles Peirce's definition of truth as the limit of inquiry is faulty for the reason that the notion 'nearer than' is only "defined for numbers and not for theories". In his contribution to the 1960 International Congress for Logic, Methodology, and Philosophy ... Read more

Starting from a pragmatic scientific view on meaning as a quantity, and the common sense reasoning from a primitive notion of inference, which is shared by both laypeople and experts, the book shows how this can evolve, ...
