Cartesian Method and the Problem of Reduction
ISBN: 9780198242505 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Cartesian method, construed as a way of organizing domains of knowledge according to the "order of reasons," was a powerful reductive tool. Descartes made significant strides in mathematics, physics, and metaphysics by relating certain complex items and problems back to more simple elements that served as starting points for his inquiries. But his reductive method also impoverished these domains in important ways, for it tended to restrict geometry to the study of straight line segments, physics to the study of ambiguously constituted bits of matter in motion, and metaphysics to the study...

Logic and Knowledge
ISBN: 9781443830089 / Twarda / 2011 / 470 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The problematic relation between logic and knowledge has given rise to some of the most important works in the history of philosophy, from Books VI–VII of Plato’s Republic and Aristotle’s Prior and Posterior Analytics, to Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason and Mill’s A System of Logic, Ratiocinative and Inductive. It provides the title of an important collection of papers by Bertrand Russell (Logic and Knowledge. Essays, 1901–1950). However, it has remained an underdeveloped theme in the last century, because logic has been treated as separate from knowledge.

Representation and Productive Ambiguity in Mathematics and the Sciences
ISBN: 9780199299737 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Emily Grosholz offers an original investigation of demonstration in mathematics and science, examining how it works and why it is persuasive. Focusing on geometrical demonstration, she shows the roles that representation and ambiguity play in mathematical discovery. She presents a wide range of case studies in mechanics, topology, algebra, logic, and chemistry, from ancient Greece to the present day, but focusing particularly on the seventeenth and twentieth centuries. She argues that reductive methods are effective not because they diminish but because they multiply and juxtapose modes of...

Starry Reckoning: Reference and Analysis in Mathematics and Cosmology
ISBN: 9783319466897 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 187 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book deals with a topic that has been largely neglected by philosophers of science to date: the ability to refer and analyze in tandem. On the basis of a set of philosophical case studies involving both problems in number theory and issues concerning time and cosmology from the era of Galileo, Newton and Leibniz up through the present day, the author argues that scientific knowledge is a combination of accurate reference and analytical interpretation. In order to think well, we must be able to refer successfully, so that we can show publicly and clearly what we are talking about. And...

The Growth of Mathematical Knowledge
ISBN: 9780792361510 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Mathematics has stood as a bridge between the Humanities and the Sciences since the days of classical antiquity. For Plato, mathematics was evidence of Being in the midst of Becoming, garden variety evidence apparent even to small children and the unphilosophical, and therefore of the highest educational significance. In the great central similes of The Republic it is the touchstone ofintelligibility for discourse, and in the Timaeus it provides in an oddly literal sense the framework of nature, insuring the intelligibility ofthe material world. For Descartes, mathematical ideas had a clarity...

The Growth of Mathematical Knowledge
ISBN: 9789048153916 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book draws its inspiration from Hilbert, Wittgenstein, Cavailles and Lakatos and is designed to reconfigure contemporary philosophy of mathematics by making the growth of knowledge rather than its foundations central to the study of mathematical rationality, and by analyzing the notion of growth in historical as well as logical terms. Not a mere compendium of opinions, it is organised in dialogical forms, with each philosophical thesis answered by one or more historical case studies designed to support, complicate or question it. The first part of the book examines the role of scientific...
