How Planets Move and Populations Grow

by Lev Ginzburg, Mark Colyvan ...

A famous ecologist and a philosopher of science team up to offer a fresh new approach to population biology and ecology. Challenging the traditionally accepted Lotka-Volterra model, which is based on predator-prey interactions, this new model emphasizes maternal effects, specifically the significance of a mother's interest in the success of her female offspring. ...

Philosophical Devices: Proofs, Probabilities, Possibilities, and Sets

Proofs, Probabilities, Possibilities, and Sets

by David Papineau ...

This book is designed to explain the technical ideas that are taken for granted in much contemporary philosophical writing. Notions like 'denumerability', 'modal scope distinction', 'Bayesian conditionalization', and 'logical completeness' are usually only elucidated deep within difficult specialist texts. By offering simple explanations that by-pass much irrelevant and boring detail, ... Read more

The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Mathematics and Logic

Edited by Stewart Shapiro ...

Series series Oxford Handbooks
Mathematics and logic have been central topics of concern since the dawn of philosophy. Since logic is the study of correct reasoning, it is a fundamental branch of epistemology and a priority in any philosophical system. Philosophers have focused on mathematics as a case study for general philosophical issues and for its role in overall knowledge- gathering. Today, philosophy of mathematics and ... Read more
