  • 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 ...

  • Logical Form

    Between Logic and Natural Language

    by Andrea Iacona ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    Logical form has always been a prime concern for philosophers belonging to the analytic tradition.

This book focuses on the very idea of logical form, which is directly relevant to any principled ... Read more

  • Interpreted Languages and Compositionality

    by Marcus Kracht ...
    Series series Social Sciences (R0)
    This book argues that languages are composed of sets of ‘signs’, rather than ‘strings’. This notion, first posited by de Saussure in the early 20th century, has for decades been neglected by linguists, particularly following Chomsky’s heavy critiques of the 1950s. Yet since the emergence of formal semantics in the 1970s, the issue of compositionality has gained traction in the theoretical debate, ... Read more

    With an Introduction to Real Point Sets

Answers to these fundamental questions obtained by late nineteenth-century mathematicians such as Dedekind and Cantor gave birth to set theory. This textbook presents classical set theory in an intuitive but concrete manner.To allow flexibility of topic selection in courses, the book is organized into four relatively ... Read more

  • Structures and Algorithms

    Mathematics and the Nature of Knowledge

    by Jens Erik Fenstad ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    This book explains exactly what human knowledge is. The key concepts in this book are structures and algorithms, i.e., what the readers “see” and how they make use of what they see. Thus in comparison with some other books on the philosophy (or methodology) of science, which employ a syntactic approach, the author’s approach is model theoretic or structural.Properly understood, it extends the ...

    Essays on the Philosophical Views of Husserl and Frege

    Edited by L. Haaparanta ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    At the turn of the century, Gottlob Frege and Edmund Husserl both participated in the discussion concerning the foundations of logic and mathematics. Since the 1960s, comparisons have been made between Frege's semantic views and Husserl's theory of intentional acts. In quite recent years, new approaches to the two philosophers' views have appeared. This collection of articles opens with the first ... Read more

  • Doing Worlds with Words

    Formal Semantics without Formal Metaphysics

    by J. Peregrin ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    Doing Worlds with Words throws light on the problem of meaning as the meeting point of linguistics, logic and philosophy, and critically assesses the possibilities and limitations of elucidating the nature of meaning by means of formal logic, model theory and model-theoretical semantics. The main thrust of the book is to show that it is misguided to understand model theory metaphysically and so to ... Read more

  • Wittgenstein's Ethical Thought

    by Y. Iczkovits ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    Exploring the ethical dimension of Wittgenstein's thought, Iczkovits challenges the view that Wittgenstein had a vision of language and subsequently a vision of ethics, showing how the two are integrated in his philosophical method, and allowing us to reframe traditional problems in moral philosophy considered as external to questions of meaning. ...

  • Vagueness: A Guide

    Edited by Giuseppina Ronzitti ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    This volume explores how vagueness matters as a specific problem in the context of theories that are primarily about something else. After an introductory chapter on the Sorites paradox, which exposes the various forms the paradox can take and some of the responses that have been pursued, the book proceeds with a chapter on vagueness and metaphysics, which covers important questions concerning ...
