This is a revised and expanded edition of a seminal work in the logic and philosophy of time, originally published in 1968. Arthur N.

Putting Logic in Its Place: Formal Constraints on Rational Belief
ISBN: 9780199263257 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What role, if any, does formal logic play in characterizing epistemically rational belief? Traditionally, belief is seen in a binary way -- either one believes a proposition, or one doesn't. Given this picture, it is attractive to impose certain deductive constraints on rational belief: that one's beliefs be logically consistent, and that one believe the logical consequences of one's beliefs. A less popular picture sees belief as a graded phenomenon. This picture (explored more by decision-theorists and philosophers of science thatn by mainstream epistemologists) invites the use of...

Doubt Truth to Be a Liar
ISBN: 9780199263288 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dialetheism is the view that some contradictions are true. This is a view which runs against orthodoxy in logic and metaphysics since Aristotle, and has implications for many of the core notions of philosophy. Doubt Truth to Be a Liar explores these implications for truth, rationality, negation, and the nature of logic, and develops further the defense of dialetheism first mounted in Priest's In Contradiction, a second edition of which is also available.

Liars and Heaps: New Essays on Paradox
ISBN: 9780199264810 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Logic is fundamental to thought and language. But which logical principles are correct? The paradoxes play a crucial role in answering that question. The so-called Liar and Heap paradoxes challenge our basic ideas about logic; at the very least, they teach us that the correct logical principles are not as obvious as common sense would have it. The essays in this volume, written by leading figures in the field, discuss novel thoughts about the paradoxes.

The Law of Non-Contradiction: New Philosophical Essays
ISBN: 9780199265176 / Angielski / Twarda / 455 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Law of Non-Contradiction -- that no contradiction can be true -- has been a seemingly unassailable dogma since the work of Aristotle, in Book G of the Metaphysics. It is an assumption challenged from a variety of angles in this collection of original papers. Twenty-three of the world's leading experts investigate the "law," considering arguments for and against it and discussing methodological issues that arise whenever we question the legitimacy of logical principles. The result is a balanced inquiry into a venerable principle of logic, one that raises questions at the very center of...

A Structural Account of Mathematics
ISBN: 9780199267538 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Charles Chihara's new book develops a structural view of the nature of mathematics, and uses it to explain a number of striking features of mathematics that have puzzled philosophers for centuries. In particular, this perspective allows Chihara to show that, in order to understand how mathematical systems are applied in science, it is not necessary to assume that its theorems either presuppose mathematical objects or are even true. He also advances several new ways of undermining the Platonic view of mathematics. Anyone working in the field will find much to reward and stimulate them...

Agustin Rayo and Gabriel Uzquiano have assembled a distinguished team of contributors to write new essays on the topic.

Deflationism and Paradox
ISBN: 9780199287116 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Deflationist accounts of truth are widely held in contemporary philosophy: they seek to show that truth is a dispensable concept with no metaphysical depth. However, logical paradoxes present problems for deflationists, which their work has struggled to overcome. In this volume of fourteen original essays, a distinguished team of contributors explore the extent to which, if at all, deflationism can accommodate paradox. The volume will be of interest to philosophers of logic, philosophers of language, and anyone working on truth.

Mathematics and Logic in History and in Contemporary Thought
ISBN: 9780202308500 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is not a conventional history of mathematics as such, a museum of documents and scientifi c curiosities. Instead, it identifi es this vital science with the thought of those who constructed it and in its relation to the changing cultural context in which it evolved. Particular emphasis is placed on the philosophic and logical systems, from Aristotle onward, that provide the basis for the fusion of mathematics and logic in contemporary thought.

Modern Dogma and the Rhetoric of Assent
ISBN: 9780226065724 / Angielski / Miękka / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When should I change my mind? What can I believe and what must I doubt? In this new "philosophy of good reasons" Wayne C. Booth exposes five dogmas of modernism that have too often inhibited efforts to answer these questions. Modern dogmas teach that "you cannot reason about values" and that "the job of thought is to doubt whatever can be doubted," and they leave those who accept them crippled in their efforts to think and talk together about whatever concerns them most. They have willed upon us a "befouled rhetorical climate" in which people are driven to two self-destructive extremes...

Dewey's New Logic: A Reply to Russell
ISBN: 9780226080703 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although John Dewey is celebrated for his work in the philosophy of education and acknowledged as a leading proponent of American pragmatism, he might also have enjoyed more of a reputation for his philosophy of logic had Bertrand Russell not attacked him so fervently on the subject. In "Dewey's New Logic," Tom Burke analyzes the debate between Russell and Dewey that followed the 1938 publication of Dewey's "Logic: The Theory of Inquiry." Here, he argues that Russell failed to understand Dewey's logic as Dewey intended, and despite Russell's resistance, Dewey's logic is surprisingly relevant...

Aiming at Truth
ISBN: 9780230506831 / Angielski / Twarda / 249 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book argues that it is not obvious what we means by saying our beliefs and assertions are 'truth-directed'. Do we weaken our notion of a belief if we deal with radical scepticism without surrendering to idealism? This book defends a radically new 'ecological' model of knowledge, examining what might happen if we abandoned genuine belief.

The Metaphysical Foundations of Logic
ISBN: 9780253207647 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Offering a full-scale study of the theory of reality hidden beneath modern logic, The Metaphysical Foundations of Logic, a lecture course given in 1928, illuminates the transitional phase in Heidegger's thought from the existential analysis of Being and Time to the overcoming of metaphysics in his later philosophy. In a searching exposition of the metaphysical problems underpinning Leibniz's theory of logical judgment, Heidegger establishes that a given theory of logic is rooted in a certain conception of Being. He explores the significance of Western logic as a system-building technical...
