Philosophical Approaches to the Foundations of Logic and Mathematics

Philosophical Approaches to the Foundations of Logic and Mathematics consists of eleven articles addressing various aspects of the roots of logic and mathematics, their basic concepts and the mechanisms that work in the practice of their use. Taken together, these articles reveal how many serious philosophical problems are still connected with the notion of the foundations of logic and mathematics.

Transcending anti-foundationalism to reach an anthropological and practical understanding of such foundations, new approaches to mathematical realism, the "roots" of logic in a genetic perspective, the primacy of truth or satisfaction, and the "effectiveness" of mathematics in terms of categorical semantics are only some of the topics discussed in this volume.
