Le inferenze sono definite ampliative quando permettono di estendere - ampliare - le nostre conoscenze, nel senso che i dati e le informazioni contenute nella conclusione non sono contenute nelle premesse, come avviene nel caso delle inferenze non-ampliative (ossia quelle deduttive). Esse sono il principale motore di avanzamento e crescita della conoscenza, in particolare di quella matematica. Il testo, usando alcuni esempi tratti dalla teoria dei numeri, la teoria dei nodi e la teoria delle trecce, fornisce un'analisi di queste forme inferenziali esaminandone tre articolazioni concettuali...

How do we get new knowledge? Following the maverick tradition in the philosophy of science, Carlo Cellucci gradually came to the conclusion that logic can only fulfill its role in mathematics, science and philosophy if it helps us to answer this question. He argues that mathematical logic is inadequate and that we need a new logic, framed in a naturalistic conception of knowledge and philosophy-the heuristic conception.This path from logic to a naturalistic conception of knowledge and philosophy explains the title, From a Heuristic Point of View, which recalls the celebrated collection of...

How can we advance knowledge? Which methods do we need in order to make new discoveries? How can we rationally evaluate, reconstruct and offer discoveries as a means of improving the 'method' of discovery itself? And how can we use findings about scientific discovery to boost funding policies, thus fostering a deeper impact of scientific discovery itself?
The respective chapters in this book provide readers with answers to these questions. They focus on a set of issues that are essential to the development of types of reasoning for advancing knowledge, such as models for both...

The book offers an interdisciplinary perspective on finance, with a special focus on stock markets. It presents new methodologies for analyzing stock markets' behavior and discusses theories and methods of finance from different angles, such as the mathematical, physical and philosophical ones. The book, which aims at philosophers and economists alike, represents a rare yet important attempt to unify the externalist with the internalist conceptions of finance.
