商品描述
This book provides a survey of a number of the major issues in the philosophy of mathematics, such as ontological questions regarding the nature of mathematical objects, epistemic questions about the acquisition of mathematical knowledge, and the intriguing riddle of the applicability of mathematics to the physical world. Some of these issues go back to the nascent years of mathematics itself, others are just beginning to draw the attention of scholars. In addressing these questions, some of the papers in this volume wrestle with them directly, while others use the writings of philosophers such as Hume and Wittgenstein to approach their problems by way of interpretation and critique. The contributors include prominent philosophers of science and mathematics as well as promising younger scholars. The volume seeks to share the concerns of philosophers of mathematics with a wider audience and will be of interest to historians, mathematicians and philosophers alike.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書提供了對數學哲學中一些重要問題的概述，例如關於數學物體本質的本體論問題、關於獲取數學知識的認識論問題，以及數學在物理世界中的應用之謎。其中一些問題可以追溯到數學本身的起源年代，而其他一些問題則剛開始引起學者的關注。在回答這些問題時，本書中的一些論文直接探討這些問題，而其他一些論文則使用像休謨和維特根斯坦這樣的哲學家的著作，通過解釋和評論的方式來處理這些問題。貢獻者包括著名的科學和數學哲學家以及有潛力的年輕學者。本書旨在將數學哲學家的關注點與更廣泛的讀者分享，對歷史學家、數學家和哲學家都具有興趣。
