Recenzje

This substantial volume is intended to increase the visibility of Bernard Bolzano (1781-1848), an underappreciated 19th-century Bohemian philosopher, theologian, and mathematician...The collection focuses on Bolzano's account of grounding, a metaphysical notion that links ontology, truth, causation, explanation, and inference.
