Philosophy of Mathematics in the Twentieth Century: Selected Essays
ISBN: 9780674728066 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this illuminating collection, Charles Parsons surveys the contributions of philosophers and mathematicians who shaped the philosophy of mathematics over the course of the past century. Parsons begins with a discussion of the Kantian legacy in the work of L. E. J. Brouwer, David Hilbert, and Paul Bernays, shedding light on how Bernays revised his philosophy after his collaboration with Hilbert. He considers Hermann Weyl's idea of a "vicious circle" in the foundations of mathematics, a radical claim that elicited many challenges. Turning to Kurt Godel, whose incompleteness theorem...

From Kant to Husserl: Selected Essays
ISBN: 9780674048539 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In From Kant to Husserl, Charles Parsons examines a wide range of historical opinion on philosophical questions, from mathematics to phenomenology. Amplifying his early ideas on Kant's philosophy of arithmetic, Parsons uses Kant's lectures on metaphysics to explore how his arithmetical concepts relate to the categories. He then turns to early reactions by two immediate successors of Kant, Johann Schultz and Bernard Bolzano, to shed light on disputed questions regarding interpretation of Kant's philosophy of mathematics. Interested, as well, in what Kant meant by "pure natural...

On Constructive Interpretation of Predictive Mathematics (1990)
ISBN: 9781138226524 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. First published in 1990, this book consists of a detailed exposition of results of the theory of "interpretation" developed by G. Kreisel -- the relative impenetrability of which gives the elucidation contained here great value for anyone seeking to understand his work. It contains more complex versions of the information obtained by Kreisel for number theory and clustering around the no-counter-example interpretation, for number-theorectic forumulae provide in ramified analysis. It also proves the omega-consistency of ramified analysis. The author also presents proofs of Schutte's...

Mathematical Thought and Its Objects
ISBN: 9780521119115 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In Mathematical Thought and Its Objects, Charles Parsons examines the notion of object, with the aim to navigate between nominalism, denying that distinctively mathematical objects exist, and forms of Platonism that postulate a transcendent realm of such objects. He introduces the central mathematical notion of structure and defends a version of the structuralist view of mathematical objects, according to which their existence is relative to a structure and they have no more of a nature than that confers on them."

The Scientific Papers of William Parsons, Third Earl of Rosse 1800-1867
ISBN: 9781108038072 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. William Parsons (1800 67), third Earl of Rosse, was responsible for building in 1845 the largest telescope of his time, nicknamed the 'Leviathan'. It enabled the Earl to make unprecedented astronomical discoveries, including the discovery of the spiral nature of galaxies. Rosse (then Lord Oxmantown) began publishing scientific papers on telescopes in 1828, and for the rest of his life made regular contributions to scientific journals in Ireland, England and Scotland. He served as President of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1843, and of the Royal Society from 1848 to...

This important book by a major American philosopher brings together eleven essays treating problems in logic and the philosophy of mathematics. A common point of view, that mathematical thought is central to our thought in general, underlies the essays. In his introduction, Parsons articulates that point of view and relates it to past and recent discussions of the foundations of mathematics.Mathematics in Philosophy is divided into three parts. Ontology the question of the nature and extent of existence assumptions in mathematics is the subject of Part One and recurs elsewhere. Part Two...

Luke
ISBN: 9780801031908 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Mikeal Parsons, a leading scholar on Luke and Acts, examines cultural context and theological meaning in Luke in this addition to the well-received Paideia series. This commentary, like each in the projected eighteen-volume series, proceeds by sense units rather than word-by-word or verse-by-verse. Paideia commentaries explore how New Testament texts form Christian readers by attending to the ancient narrative and rhetorical strategies the text employs, showing how the text shapes theological convictions and moral habits, and making judicious use of maps, photos, and sidebars in a...

Hao Wang. Logician and Philosopher
ISBN: 9781848900288 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Hao Wang (1921-1995) was a prolific researcher and writer in mathematical logic, computer science, and philosophy. He is known for the close relation he developed with Kurt Godel during the last decade of the latter's life and the two books about Godel that he published after Godel's death.

Wang spent the first twenty-five years of his life in China and continued to identify himself as Chinese, and in later years he returned to China several times. The volume adds to...

In this volume, respected New Testament scholar Peter Oakes offers a translation and reading of Galatians as presenting a gospel of unity in diversity in Christ. He shows that Paul treats the Galatians' possible abandonment of his gospel as putting at stake their fidelity to Christ. As with other volumes in the Paideia series, this volume is conversant with contemporary scholarship, draws on ancient backgrounds, and attends to the theological nature of the text. Students, pastors, and other readers will appreciate the historical, literary, and theological insight offered in this practical...

The Early Essays
ISBN: 9780226092379 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 361 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. With the publication in 1937 of his first book, "The Structure of Social Action," Talcott Parsons (1902-79) established himself as one of America's most important social theorists. Yet Parsons's essays from the decade preceding 1937 are virtually unknown to theorists and historians of sociology. By gathering the majority of Parsons's articles and book reviews published between 1923 and 1937, Charles Camic supplies the first comprehensive selection of the writings of the "early Parsons."
In his superb introductory essay, Camic situates Parsons's early writings in their sociointellectual... With the publication in 1937 of his first book, "The Structure of Social Action," Talcott Parsons (1902-79) established himself as one of America's mo...
