Philosophy of Mathematics Zusammenfassung

Philosophy of Mathematics: Selected Writings Charles S. Peirce

The philosophy of mathematics plays a vital role in the mature philosophy of Charles S. Peirce. Peirce received rigorous mathematical training from his father and his philosophy carries on in decidedly mathematical and symbolic veins. For Peirce, math was a philosophical tool and many of his most productive ideas rest firmly on the foundation of mathematical principles. This volume collects Peirce's most important writings on the subject, many appearing in print for the first time. Peirce's determination to understand matter, the cosmos, and the grand design of the universe remain relevant for contemporary students of science, technology, and symbolic logic.

Philosophy of Mathematics Bewertungen

Moore is to be congratulated on having put together not only a good Peirce anthology, but one very carefully and informatively edited.

* Philosophia Mathematica *

Moore has . . . done an excellent job of bringing the most significant of Peirce's writings on mathematics into focus, as well as linking them to the larger project of Peirce's pragmatic philosophy. 8/30/2011

* Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *

This book is a gem for everyone interested in Peirce's philosophy of mathematics and may be used as a prerequisite for a deeper journey into his philosophical system.
