Description
This book provides a survey of a number of the major issues in the philosophy of mathematics, such as ontological questions regarding the nature of mathematical objects, epistemic questions about the acquisition of mathematical knowledge, and the intriguing riddle of the applicability of mathematics to the physical world.
Carl Posy has published widely in the philosophy of mathematics and in the history of philosophy. He is the author of Mathematical Intuitionism (Cambridge 2020), and the editor of Kant’s Philosophy of Mathematics: Modern Essays (Kluwer, 1992). He co-edited (with Jack Copeland and Oron Shagrir) Computability: Turing, Gödel, Church and Beyond (MIT, 2013), and (with Ofra Rechter) Kant’s Philosophy of Mathematics, Volume I: The Critical Philosophy and Its Roots (Cambridge, 2020); and Kant’s Philosophy of Mathematics, Volume II: Reception and Influence (Cambridge, Forthcoming)
Yemima Ben-Menahem is a philosopher of science, specializing in the philosophy of physics. She is author of Conventionalism (Cambridge University Press, 2006) and Causation in Science (Princeton University Press, 2018. She edited Hilary Putnam (Cambridge University Press 2005) and coedited (with Meir Hemmo) Probability in Physics (Springer, 2012)
