Foundations without Foundationalism : A Case for Second-Order Logic
ISBN: 9780198533917 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The central contention of this book is that second-order logic has a central role to play in laying the foundations of mathematics. In order to develop the argument fully, the author presents a detailed description of higher-order logic, including a comprehensive discussion of its semantics. He goes on to demonstrate the prevalence of second-order concepts in mathematics and the extent to which mathematical ideas can be formulated in higher-order logic. He also shows how first-order languages are often insufficient to codify many concepts in contemporary mathematics, and thus that both first-...

Philosophy of Mathematics: Structure and Ontology
ISBN: 9780195139303 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Do numbers, sets, and so forth, exist? What do mathematical statements mean? Are they literally true or false, or do they lack truth values altogether? Addressing questions that have attracted lively debate in recent years, Stewart Shapiro contends that standard realist and antirealist accounts of mathematics are both problematic. As Benacerraf first noted, we are confronted with the following powerful dilemma. The desired continuity between mathematical and, say, scientific language suggests realism, but realism in this context suggests seemingly intractable epistemic problems. As a way...

Vagueness in Context
ISBN: 9780199280391 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Stewart Shapiro's ambition in Vagueness in Context is to develop a comprehensive account of the meaning, function, and logic of vague terms in an idealized version of a natural language like English. It is a commonplace that the extensions of vague terms vary according to their context: a person can be tall with respect to male accountants and not tall (even short) with respect to professional basketball players. The key feature of Shapiro's account is that the extensions of vague terms also vary in the course of conversations and that, in some cases, a competent speaker can go either way...

Varieties of Logic
ISBN: 9780199696529 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Logical pluralism is the view that different logics are equally appropriate, or equally correct. Logical relativism is a pluralism according to which validity and logical consequence are relative to something. In Varieties of Logic, Stewart Shapiro develops several ways in which one can be a pluralist or relativist about logic. One of these is an extended argument that words and phrases like "valid" and "logical consequence" are polysemous or, perhaps better, are cluster concepts. The notions can be sharpened in various ways. This explains away the "debates" in the literature between...

Thinking about Mathematics: The Philosophy of Mathematics
ISBN: 9780192893062 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This unique book by Stewart Shapiro looks at a range of philosophical issues and positions concerning mathematics in four comprehensive sections. Part I describes questions and issues about mathematics that have motivated philosophers since the beginning of intellectual history. Part II is an historical survey, discussing the role of mathematics in the thought of such philosophers as Plato, Aristotle, Kant, and Mill. Part III covers the three major positions held throughout the twentieth century: the idea that mathematics is logic (logicism), the view that the essence of mathematics is the...

The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Mathematics and Logic
ISBN: 9780195325928 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 832 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Mathematics and logic have been central topics of concern since the dawn of philosophy. Since logic is the study of correct reasoning, it is a fundamental branch of epistemology and a priority in any philosophical system. Philosophers have focused on mathematics as a case study for general philosophical issues and for its role in overall knowledge- gathering. Today, philosophy of mathematics and logic remain central disciplines in contemporary philosophy, as evidenced by the regular appearance of articles on these topics in the best mainstream philosophical journals; in fact, the last decade...

Vagueness in Context
ISBN: 9780199544783 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Stewart Shapiro's aim in Vagueness in Context is to develop both a philosophical and a formal, model-theoretic account of the meaning, function, and logic of vague terms in an idealized version of a natural language like English. It is a commonplace that the extensions of vague terms vary with such contextual factors as the comparison class and paradigm cases. A person can be tall with respect to male accountants and not tall (even short) with respect to professional basketball players. The main feature of Shapiro's account is that the extensions (and anti-extensions) of vague terms also vary...

Classical First-Order Logic
ISBN: 9781108987004 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. One is often said to be reasoning well when they are reasoning logically. Many attempts to say what logical reasoning is have been proposed, but one commonly proposed system is first-order classical logic. This Element will examine the basics of first-order classical logic and discuss some surrounding philosophical issues. The first half of the Element develops a language for the system, as well as a proof theory and model theory. We provide theorems about the system we developed, such as unique readability and the Lindenbaum lemma. We also discuss the meta-theory for the system, and provide...
