About This Item
Cambridge University Press, UK, 1983. 2nd edition. Hardcover. As New/As New. "The twentieth century has witnessed an unprecedented 'crisis in the foundations of mathematics', featuring a world-famous paradox (Russell's Paradox), a challenge to 'classical' mathematics from a world-famous mathematician (the 'mathematical intuitionism' of Brouwer), a new foundational school (Hilbert's Formalism), and the profound incompleteness results of Kurt Godel. 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 Godel himself, and which remains at the focus of Anglo-Saxon philosophical discussion." [Pub. Info] Mathematicians also include Gotleib Frege, Rudolph Carnap, Henri Poincrne, and others. 600 pages. There is a protective mylar cover. 2ND EDITION.
