Throughout his career, Keith Hossack has made outstanding
contributions to the theory of knowledge, metaphysics and the
philosophy of mathematics. This collection of previously
unpublished papers begins with a focus on Hossack's conception of
the nature of knowledge, his metaphysics of facts and his account
of the relations between knowledge, agents and facts. Attention
moves to Hossack's philosophy of mind and the nature of
consciousness, before turning to the notion of necessity and its
interaction with a priori knowledge. Hossack's views on the nature
of proof, logical truth, conditionals and generality are discussed
in depth. In the final chapters, questions about the identity of
mathematical objects and our knowledge of them take centre stage,
together with questions about the necessity and generality of
mathematical and logical truths. Knowledge, Number and Reality
represents some of the most vibrant discussions taking place in
analytic philosophy today.
