Peirce. Peirce received rigorous mathematical training from his father and his philosophy carries on in decidedly mathematical and symbolic veins. For Peirce, math was a philosophical tool and many of his most productive ideas rest firmly on the foundation of mathematical principles. This volume collects Peirce's most important writings on the subject, many appearing in print for the first time. Peirce's determination to understand matter, the cosmos, and \"the grand design\" of the universe remain relevant for contemporary students of science, technology, and symbolic logic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e 1 [The Nature of Mathematics]\u003cbr\u003e 2 The Regenerated Logic\u003cbr\u003e 3 The Logic of Mathematics in Relation to Education\u003cbr\u003e 4 The Simplest Mathematics \u003cbr\u003e 5 The Essence of Reasoning\u003cbr\u003e 6 New Elements of Geometry\u003cbr\u003e 7 On the Logic of Quantity\u003cbr\u003e 8 Sketch of Dichotomic Mathematics\u003cbr\u003e 9 [Pragmatism and Mathematics]\u003cbr\u003e 10 Prolegomena to an Apology for Pragmaticism\u003cbr\u003e 11 ['Collection' in The Century Dictionary]\u003cbr\u003e 12 [On Collections and Substantive Possibility]\u003cbr\u003e 13 [The Ontology of Collections]\u003cbr\u003e 14 The Logic of Quantity\u003cbr\u003e 15 Recreations in Reasoning\u003cbr\u003e 16 Topical Geometry\u003cbr\u003e 17 A Geometrico-Logical Discussion\u003cbr\u003e 18 ['Continuity' in The Century Dictionary]\u003cbr\u003e 19 The Law of Mind\u003cbr\u003e 20 [Scientific Fallibilism]\u003cbr\u003e 21 On Quantity [The Continuity of Time and Space]\u003cbr\u003e 22 Detached Ideas Continued and the Dispute between Nominalists and Realists\u003cbr\u003e 23 The Logic of Continuity\u003cbr\u003e 24 [On Multitudes]\u003cbr\u003e 25 Infinitesimals\u003cbr\u003e 26 The Bed-Rock beneath Pragmaticism\u003cbr\u003e 27 [Note and Addendum on Continuity]\u003cbr\u003e 28 Addition [on Continuity]\u003cbr\u003e 29 Supplement [on Continuity]\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52676788584728,"sku":"9780253222657","price":21.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/philosophy-of-mathematics-selected-writings-paperback-softback-9780253222657","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
