These include formalism in the philosophy of mathematics, and as well as naïve set theory, with a universal set, and a naïve theory of truth. In contrast to other contemporary defenders of the latter two theories, Weir rejects dialetheism and accepts classical rules for the logical connectives. He avoids contradictions by restricting certain structural inference rules, specifically some generalized versions of transitivity. In addition, Weir has developed radical versions of naturalism and physicalism (partly informed by his work on Quine) and perceptual realism. This collection includes contributions by a distinguished group of philosophers on Weir’s philosophy, as well as a memoir and a new essay on the philosophy of mathematics by Weir himself.. | 出版日期 | Book 2024 | 关键词 | Philosophy of mathematics; Formalism and philosophy; Alternative logics; Mathematical Naturalism; Scepti | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-54557-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-54559-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-54557-3Series ISSN 0166-6991 Series E-ISSN 2542-8292 | issn_series | 0166-6991 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
