Summary

Phenomenology, Logic, and the Philosophy of Mathematics, first published in 2005, is about logic, mathematical knowledge and mathematical objects. It is concerned with the role of reason and intuition in the exact sciences and it analyzes many of the central positions in the philosophy of logic and philosophy of mathematics: platonism, nominalism, intuitionism, formalism, pragmatism, and others.

Phenomenology, Logic, and the Philosophy of Mathematics Summary

Phenomenology, Logic, and the Philosophy of Mathematics by Richard Tieszen (San Jose State University, California)

Offering a collection of fifteen essays that deal with issues at the intersection of phenomenology, logic, and the philosophy of mathematics, this 2005 book is divided into three parts. Part I contains a general essay on Husserl's conception of science and logic, an essay of mathematics and transcendental phenomenology, and an essay on phenomenology and modern pure geometry. Part II is focused on Kurt Godel's interest in phenomenology. It explores Godel's ideas and also some work of Quine, Penelope Maddy and Roger Penrose. Part III deals with elementary, constructive areas of mathematics. These are areas of mathematics that are closer to their origins in simple cognitive activities and in everyday experience. This part of the book contains essays on intuitionism, Hermann Weyl, the notion of constructive proof, Poincare and Frege.
