Philosophy of Mathematics

Informationen zum Autor Charles S. Peirce (1839-1914) was one of America's most prolific philosophers. He is noted for his contributions to logic, mathematics, science, and semiotics.Matthew E. Moore is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Brooklyn College. He is editor of New Essays on Peirce's Mathematical Philosophy . Klappentext The philosophy of mathematics plays a vital role in the mature philosophyof Charles S. Peirce. Peirce received rigorous mathematical training from his fatherand his philosophy carries on in decidedly mathematical and symbolic veins. ForPeirce, math was a philosophical tool and many of his most productive ideas restfirmly on the foundation of mathematical principles. This volume collects Peirce'smost important writings on the subject, many appearing in print for the first time.Peirce's determination to understand matter, the cosmos, and "the granddesign" of the universe remain relevant for contemporary students of science, technology, and symbolic logic.
