This book examines the tension between formal and informal methods
in philosophy. The rise of analytic philosophy was accompanied by
the development of formal logic and many successful applications of
formal methods. But analytical philosophy does not rely on formal
methods alone. Elements of broadly understood informal logic and
logical semiotics, procedures used in natural sciences and
humanities, and various kinds of intuition also belong to the
philosopher's toolkit. Papers gathered in the book concern the
opposition formality-informality as well as other pairs, such as
methodology versus metaphilosophy, interdisciplinarity versus
intradisciplinarity, and methodological uniformity versus diversity
of sciences. Problems of the nature of logic and the explanatory
role of mathematical theories are also discussed.
