  • Not Exactly

    In Praise of Vagueness

    by Kees van Deemter ...
    Not everything is black and white. Our daily lives are full of vagueness or fuzziness. Language is the most obvious example - for instance, when we describe someone as tall, it is as though there is a particular height beyond which a person can be considered 'tall'. Likewise the terms 'blond' or 'overweight' in common usage. We often think in discontinuous categories when we are considering ... Read more

  • Godel's Mistake: The Role of Meaning in Mathematics

    by Ashish Dalela ...
    Why Is Mathematics Incomplete?Gödel's incompleteness theorem is a foundational result in mathematics that proves that any axiomatic theory of numbers will be either inconsistent or incomplete. Turing's Halting problem is a foundational result in computing proving that computers cannot know if a program will halt. Gödel's Mistake connects these theorems to the question of meaning. The book shows ... Read more

  • Elements of Logical Reasoning

    by Jan von Plato ...
    Some of our earliest experiences of the conclusive force of an argument come from school mathematics: faced with a mathematical proof, we cannot deny the conclusion once the premises have been accepted. Behind such arguments lies a more general pattern of 'demonstrative arguments' that is studied in the science of logic. Logical reasoning is applied at all levels, from everyday life to advanced ...

  • Methods of Argumentation

    by Douglas Walton ...
    Argumentation, which can be abstractly defined as the interaction of different arguments for and against some conclusion, is an important skill to learn for everyday life, law, science, politics and business. The best way to learn it is to try it out on real instances of arguments found in everyday conversational exchanges and legal argumentation. The introductory chapter of this book gives a ...

  • Kurt Gödel and the Foundations of Mathematics

    Horizons of Truth

    Edited by Matthias Baaz, Christos H. Papadimitriou, Hilary W. Putnam, Dana S. Scott, Charles L. Harper, Jr ...
    This volume commemorates the life, work and foundational views of Kurt Gödel (1906–78), most famous for his hallmark works on the completeness of first-order logic, the incompleteness of number theory, and the consistency - with the other widely accepted axioms of set theory - of the axiom of choice and of the generalized continuum hypothesis. It explores current research, advances and ideas for ... Read more

  • Paraconsistency: Logic and Applications

    Edited by Koji Tanaka, Francesco Berto, Edwin Mares, Francesco Paoli ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    A logic is called 'paraconsistent' if it rejects the rule called 'ex contradictione quodlibet', according to which any conclusion follows from inconsistent premises. While logicians have proposed many technically developed paraconsistent logical systems and contemporary philosophers like Graham Priest have advanced the view that some contradictions can be true, and advocated a paraconsistent logic ...

  • Hilbert’s Program

    An Essay on Mathematical Instrumentalism

    by M. Detlefsen ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    Hilbert's Program was founded on a concern for the phenomenon of paradox in mathematics. To Hilbert, the paradoxes, which are at once both absurd and irresistible, revealed a deep philosophical truth: namely, that there is a discrepancy between the laws accord ing to which the mind of homo mathematicus works, and the laws governing objective mathematical fact. Mathematical epistemology is, ... Read more

    by Zoran Ognjanović, Miodrag Rašković, Zoran Marković ...
    Series series Computer Science (R0)
    The aim of this book is to provide an introduction to probability logic-based formalization of uncertain reasoning. The authors' primary interest is mathematical techniques for infinitary probability logics used to obtain results about proof-theoretical and model-theoretical issues such as axiomatizations, completeness, compactness, and decidability, including solutions of some problems from the ...

    Essays on the Development of the Foundations of Mathematics

    Edited by Jaakko Hintikka ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    Discussions of the foundations of mathematics and their history are frequently restricted to logical issues in a narrow sense, or else to traditional problems of analytic philosophy. From Dedekind to Gödel: Essays on the Development of the Foundations of Mathematics illustrates the much greater variety of the actual developments in the foundations during the period covered. The viewpoints that ... Read more
