Книга Philosophy of Mathematics: Selected Readings Philosophy of Mathematics: Selected Readings Книги Математика Автор: Paul Benacerraf, Hilary Putnam Год издания: 1984 Формат: pdf Издат.:Cambridge University Press Страниц: 608 Размер: 8,3 ISBN: 052129648X Язык: Английский0 (голосов: 0) Оценка:The twentieth century has witnessed an unprecedented crisis in the foundations of mathematics, featuring a world-famous paradox (Russells Paradox), a challenge to classical mathematics from a world-famous mathematician (the mathematical intuitionism of Brouwer), a new foundational school (Hilberts Formalism), and the profound incompleteness results of Kurt Gödel. In the same period, the cross-fertilization of mathematics and philosophy resulted in a new sort of mathematical philosophy, associated most notably (but in different ways) with Bertrand Russell, W. V. Quine, and Gödel himself, and which remains at the focus of Anglo-Saxon philosophical discussion. The present collection brings [...]together in a convenient form the seminal articles in the philosophy of mathematics by these and other major thinkers. It is a substantially revised version of the edition first published in 1964 and includes a revised bibliography. The volume will be welcomed as a major work of reference at this level in the field.
