This Undergraduate Textbook introduces key methods and examines the
major areas of philosophy in which formal methods play pivotal
roles. Coverage begins with a thorough introduction to
formalization and to the advantages and pitfalls of formal methods
in philosophy. The ensuing chapters show how to use formal methods
in a wide range of areas. Throughout, the contributors clarify the
relationships and interdependencies between formal and informal
notions and constructions. Their main focus is to show how formal
treatments of philosophical problems may help us understand them
better. Formal methods can be used to solve problems but also to
express new philosophical problems that would never have seen the
light of day without the expressive power of the formal apparatus.
Formal philosophy merges work in different areas of philosophy as
well as logic, mathematics, computer science, linguistics, physics,
psychology, biology, economics, political theory, and sociology.
This title offers an accessible introduction to this new
interdisciplinary research area to a wide academic audience.
