Conventionalism: From Poincare to Quine
ISBN: 9781107407312 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The daring idea that convention - human decision - lies at the root both of necessary truths and much of empirical science reverberates through twentieth-century philosophy, constituting a revolution comparable to Kant's Copernican revolution. This book provides a comprehensive study of Conventionalism. Drawing a distinction between two conventionalist theses, the under-determination of science by empirical fact, and the linguistic account of necessity, Yemima Ben-Menahem traces the evolution of both ideas to their origins in Poincare's geometric conventionalism. She argues that the radical...

Rethinking the Concept of Laws of Nature: Natural Order in the Light of Contemporary Science
ISBN: 9783030967741 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book subjects the traditional concept of law of nature to critical examination. There are two kinds of reasons that invite this reexamination, one deriving from philosophical concerns over the traditional concept, the other motivated by theoretical and practical changes in science. One of the philosophical worries is that the idiom of law of nature, especially when combined with the notion of laws 'governing' individual events and processes, is no longer as intelligible as it used to be in the theistic context in which the formulation of laws became central to science. The... This book subjects the traditional concept of law of nature to critical examination. There are two kinds of reasons that invite this re... |

Hilary Putnam
ISBN: 9780521012546 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume appraises the major philosophical contributions of Hilary Putnam (b. 1926) to the theory of meaning, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science and mathematics, and moral theory. Concerned not only with the broad spectrum of problems addressed, it also details the transformations and restructuring his positions have undergone over the years. The analysis constitutes a critical introduction to central issues in contemporary philosophy, including quantum logic, realism, functionalism, the "mind as computer" metaphor, and the fact/value dichotomy.

Mathematical Knowledge, Objects and Applications: Essays in Memory of Mark Steiner
ISBN: 9783031216541 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book provides a survey of a number of the major issues in the philosophy of mathematics, such as ontological questions regarding the nature of mathematical objects, epistemic questions about the acquisition of mathematical knowledge, and the intriguing riddle of the applicability of mathematics to the physical world. Some of these issues go back to the nascent years of mathematics itself, others are just beginning to draw the attention of scholars. In addressing these questions, some of the papers in this volume wrestle with them directly, while others use the writings of philosophers...

Probability in Physics
ISBN: 9783642436925 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. What is the role and meaning of probability in physical theory, in particular in two of the most successful theories of our age, quantum physics and statistical mechanics? Laws once conceived as universal and deterministic, such as Newton's laws of motion, or the second law of thermodynamics, are replaced in these theories by inherently probabilistic laws. This collection of essays by some of the world's foremost experts presents an in-depth analysis of the meaning of probability in contemporary physics. Among the questions addressed are: How are probabilities defined? Are they objective...
