Description

The philosophy of mathematics plays a vital role in the mature philosophy of Charles S. 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.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I needed this book. Peirce is a genius. Keep with the concrete, don’t get lost in the understanding and confound analytic and synthetic a priori. Don’t get confused with p or ~p types of judgements (affirmative and negative). Numbers represent objects in the world. There are eleven objects on my table. If I count the cigarettes in the past it is 11+14 and equals a total 25. Also, there is a triad in reasoning (as Peirce notices). The is the relation between affirmative and negative, therefore, there is a plurality.
