This book explores the results of applying empirical methods to the
philosophy of logic and mathematics. Much of the work that has
earned experimental philosophy a prominent place in twenty-first
century philosophy is concerned with ethics or epistemology. But,
as this book shows, empirical methods are just as much at home in
logic and the philosophy of mathematics. Chapters demonstrate and
discuss the applicability of a wide range of empirical methods
including experiments, surveys, interviews, and data-mining.
Distinct themes emerge that reflect recent developments in the
field, such as issues concerning the logic of conditionals and the
role played by visual elements in some mathematical proofs.
Featuring leading figures from experimental philosophy and the
fields of philosophy of logic and mathematics, this collection
reveals that empirical work in these disciplines has been quietly
thriving for some time and stresses the importance of collaboration
between philosophers and researchers in mathematics education and
mathematical cognition.
