Mathematics and logic have been central topics of concern since the
dawn of philosophy. Since logic is the study of correct reasoning,
it is a fundamental branch of epistemology and a priority in any
philosophical system. Philosophers have focused on mathematics as a
case study for general philosophical issues and for its role in
overall knowledge- gathering. Today, philosophy of mathematics and
logic remain central disciplines in contemporary philosophy, as
evidenced by the regular appearance of articles on these topics in
the best mainstream philosophical journals; in fact, the last
decade has seen an explosion of scholarly work in these areas.
This volume covers these disciplines in a comprehensive and
accessible manner, giving the reader an overview of the major
problems, positions, and battle lines. The 26 contributed chapters
are by established experts in the field, and their articles contain
both exposition and criticism as well as substantial development of
their own positions. The essays, which are substantially
self-contained, serve both to introduce the reader to the subject
and to engage in it at its frontiers. Certain major positions are
represented by two chapters--one supportive and one critical.
The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Math and Logic is a
ground-breaking reference like no other in its field. It is a
central resource to those wishing to learn about the philosophy of
mathematics and the philosophy of logic, or some aspect thereof,
and to those who actively engage in the discipline, from advanced
undergraduates to professional philosophers, mathematicians, and
historians.
