Proof, Logic and Formalization (Paperback): Michael Detlefsen Proof, Logic and Formalization (Paperback)
Michael Detlefsen
R1,815 Discovery Miles 18 150 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The mathematical proof is the most important form of justification in mathematics. It is not, however, the only kind of justification for mathematical propositions. The existence of other forms, some of very significant strength, places a question mark over the prominence given to proof within mathematics. This collection of essays, by leading figures working within the philosophy of mathematics, is a response to the challenge of understanding the nature and role of the proof.

Proof and Knowledge in Mathematics (Hardcover, New): Michael Detlefsen Proof and Knowledge in Mathematics (Hardcover, New)
Michael Detlefsen
R4,472 Discovery Miles 44 720 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This volume of essays tackles the main problem that arises when considering an epistemology for mathematics, the nature and sources of mathematical justification. Focusing both on particular and general issues, the essays from leading philosophers of mathematics raise important issues for our current understanding of mathematics. Is mathematical justification "a priori" or "a posteriori"? What role, if any, does logic play in mathematical reasoning or inference? And how epistemologically important is the formalizability of proof? The companion volume "Proof, Knowledge and Formalization" is also available from Routledge. Contributors include Michael Detlefsen, Michael D. Resnik, Stewart Shapiro, Mark Steiner, Pirmin Stekeler-Weithofer, Shelley Stillwell, William J. Tait and Steven J. Wagner. This book should be of interest to advanced students and lecturers of philosophy of logic and maths.

Proof and Knowledge in Mathematics (Paperback): Michael Detlefsen Proof and Knowledge in Mathematics (Paperback)
Michael Detlefsen
R1,800 Discovery Miles 18 000 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

These questions arise from any attempt to discover an epistemology for mathematics. This collection of essays considers various questions concerning the nature of justification in mathematics and possible sources of that justification. Among these are the question of whether mathematical justification is a priori or a posteriori in character, whether logical and mathematical differ, and if formalization plays a significant role in mathematical justification,
