The essays in this volume concern the points of intersection
between analytic philosophy and the philosophy of the exact
sciences. More precisely, it concern connections between knowledge
in mathematics and the exact sciences, on the one hand, and the
conceptual foundations of knowledge in general. Its guiding idea is
that, in contemporary philosophy of science, there are profound
problems of theoretical interpretation-- problems that transcend
both the methodological concerns of general philosophy of science,
and the technical concerns of philosophers of particular sciences.
A fruitful approach to these problems combines the study of
scientific detail with the kind of conceptual analysis that is
characteristic of the modern analytic tradition. Such an approach
is shared by these contributors: some primarily known as analytic
philosophers, some as philosophers of science, but all deeply aware
that the problems of analysis and interpretation link these fields
together.
