More Precisely is a rigorous and engaging introduction to the
mathematics necessary to do philosophy. It is impossible to fully
understand much of the most important work in contemporary
philosophy without a basic grasp of set theory, functions,
probability, decision theory, and modality. More Precisely is
written for people who wish to engage with contemporary
philosophical writing but first need to fill gaps in their
technical knowledge. Eric Steinhart provides lucid explanations of
many basic mathematical concepts and sets out most commonly used
notational conventions. He also demonstrates how mathematics
applies to fundamental issues in various branches of philosophy,
including metaphysics, philosophy of language, epistemology, and
ethics. This second edition adds a substantive section on decision
and game theory, as well as a chapter on information theory and the
efficient coding of information.
