Semantic Perception: How the Illusion of a Common Language Arises and Persists
ISBN: 9780199967407 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Jody Azzouni argues that we involuntarily experience certain physical items, certain products of human actions, and certain human actions themselves as having meaning-properties. We understand these items as possessing meaning or as having (or being capable of having) truth values. For example, a sign on a door reading "Drinks Inside" strikes native English speakers as referring to liquids in the room behind the door. The sign has a truth value--if no drinks are found in the room, the sign is misleading. Someone pointing in a direction has the same effect: we experience her gesture as...

Metaphysical Myths, Mathematical Practice
ISBN: 9780521442237 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Jody Azzouni argues in this original and exciting study that mathematical knowledge really is a special kind of knowledge with its own special means of gathering evidence. He analyzes the linguistic pitfalls and misperceptions philosophers in this field are often prone to, and explores the misapplications of epistemic principles from the empirical sciences to the exact sciences. What emerges is a picture of mathematics both sensitive to mathematical practice, and to the ontological and epistemological issues that concern philosophers.

The Rule-Following Paradox and Its Implications for Metaphysics
ISBN: 9783319490601 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This monograph presents Azzouni's new approach to the rule-following paradox. His solution leaves intact an isolated individual's capacity to follow rules, and it simultaneously avoids replacing the truth conditions for meaning-talk with mere assertability conditions for that talk. Kripke's influential version of Wittgenstein's rule-following paradox--and Wittgenstein's views more generally--on the contrary, make rule-following practices and assertions about those practices subject to community norms without which they lose their cogency. Azzouni summarizes and develops... This monograph presents Azzouni's new approach to the rule-following paradox. His solution leaves intact an isolated individual's capacity to follo... |

Tracking Reason: Proof, Consequence, and Truth
ISBN: 9780195370690 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When ordinary people--mathematicians among them--take something to follow (deductively) from something else, they are exposing the backbone of our self-ascribed ability to reason. Jody Azzouni investigates the connection between that ordinary notion of consequence and the formal analogues invented by logicians. One claim of the book is that, despite our apparent intuitive grasp of consequence, we do not introspect rules by which we reason, nor do we grasp the scope and range of the domain, as it were, of our reasoning. This point is illustrated with a close analysis of a paradigmatic case of...

Deflating Existential Consequence: A Case for Nominalism
ISBN: 9780195308679 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. If we must take mathematical statements to be true, must we also believe in the existence of abstracta eternal invisible mathematical objects accessible only by the power of pure thought? Jody Azzouni says no, and he claims that the way to escape such commitments is to accept (as an essential part of scientific doctrine) true statements which are about objects that don't exist in any sense at all.
Azzouni illustrates what the metaphysical landscape looks like once we avoid a militant Realism which forces our commitment to anything that our theories quantify. Escaping metaphysical...

Talking about Nothing: Numbers, Hallucinations, and Fictions
ISBN: 9780199937684 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Ordinary language and scientific language enable us to speak about, in a singular way (using demonstratives and names), what we recognize not to exist: fictions, the contents of our hallucinations, abstract objects, and various idealized but nonexistent objects that our scientific theories are often couched in terms of. Indeed, references to such nonexistent items-especially in the case of the application of mathematics to the sciences-are indispensable. We cannot avoid talking about such things. Scientific and ordinary languages thus enable us to say things about Pegasus or about...

ISBN: 9783319583365 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Azzouni concludes this unusual monograph by uncovering a striking resemblance between the rule-following paradox and Hume's problem of induction: he shows the rule-following paradox to be a corollary of Hume's problem that arises when the problem of induction is applied to an individual's own abilities to follow rules.

Ontology Without Borders
ISBN: 9780190622558 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Our experience of objects (and consequently our theorizing about them) is very rich. We perceive objects as possessing individuation conditions. They appear to have boundaries in space and time, for example, and they appear to move independently of a background of other objects or a landscape. In Ontology Without Boundaries Jody Azzouni undertakes an analysis of our concept of object, and shows what about that notion is truly due to the world and what about it is a projection onto the world of our senses and thinking. Location and individuation conditions are our product: there is no...

Knowledge and Reference in Empirical Science
ISBN: 9780415223836 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Knowledge and Reference in Empirical Science is a fascinating study of the bounds between science and language: in what sense, and of what, does science provide knowledge? Is science an instrument only distantly related to what's real? Can the language of science be used to adequately describe the truth?
In this book, Jodi Azziouni investigates the technology of science - the actual forging and exploiting of causal links, between ourselves and what we endeavor to know and understand. Knowledge and Reference in Empirical Science is a fascinating study of the bounds between science and language: in what sense, and of what, d...
