Philosophy of Mathematics – Selected Writings

Autor Charles S. Peirce, Matthew E. Moore, Joseph W. Dauben
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 aug 2010
The philosophy of mathematics plays a vital role in the mature philosophy of Charles S. Peirce. Peirce received rigorous mathematical training from his father and his philosophy carries on in decidedly mathematical and symbolic veins. For Peirce, maths was a philosophical tool and many of his most productive ideas rest firmly on the foundation of mathematical principles. This volume collects Peirce’s most important writings on the subject, many appearing in print for the first time. Peirce’s determination to understand matter, the cosmos, and “the grand design” of the universe remain relevant for contemporary students of science, technology, and symbolic logic.

Recenzii

"Focuses on the major writings Peirce produced that are of greatest significance for a correct appreciation of his larger philosophical agenda." Joseph W. Dauben, City University of New York

"[Philosophy of Mathematics] provides a substantial and nicely ordered set of extracts displaying Peirce's ideas, showing in particular the lengthy evolution of his thought on what seems to have been for him the most central and nagging problem: how to understand continuity." —Philosophia Mathematica
