  • - On the Philosophical Foundations of Set Theory
    av Irvine) Maddy & Penelope (University of California
    498 - 1 034,-

    Mathematics depends on proofs, and proofs must begin somewhere, from some fundamental assumptions. The axioms of set theory have long played this role, so the question of how they are properly judged is of central importance. Maddy discusses the appropriate methods for such evaluations and the philosophical backdrop that makes them appropriate.

  • - A Naturalistic Method
    av Irvine) Maddy & Penelope (University of California
    602 - 629,-

    Many philosophers claim to be naturalists, but there is no common understanding of what naturalism is. Maddy proposes an austere form of naturalism called 'Second Philosophy', using the persona of an idealized inquirer, and she puts this method into practice in illuminating reflections on logical truth, philosophy of mathematics, and metaphysics.
