Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to the philosophy of mathematics grounded in mathematics and motivated by mathematical inquiry and practice. In this book, Joel David Hamkins offers an introduction to the philosophy of mathematics that is grounded in mathematics and motivated by mathematical inquiry and practice. He treats philosophical issues as they arise organically in mathematics, discussing such topics as platonism, realism, logicism, structuralism, formalism, infinity, and intuitionism in mathematical contexts. He organizes the book by mathematical themes--numbers, rigor, geometry, proof, computability, incompleteness, and set theory--that give rise again and again to philosophical considerations.

Book Synopsis Philosophy of Mathematics by : Øystein Linnebo
Download or read book Philosophy of Mathematics written by Øystein Linnebo and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sophisticated, original introduction to the philosophy of mathematics from one of its leading thinkers Mathematics is a model of precision and objectivity, but it appears distinct from the empirical sciences because it seems to deliver nonexperiential knowledge of a nonphysical reality of numbers, sets, and functions. How can these two aspects of mathematics be reconciled? This concise book provides a systematic, accessible introduction to the field that is trying to answer that question: the philosophy of mathematics. Øystein Linnebo, one of the world's leading scholars on the subject, introduces all of the classical approaches to the field as well as more specialized issues, including mathematical intuition, potential infinity, and the search for new mathematical axioms. Sophisticated but clear and approachable, this is an essential book for all students and teachers of philosophy and of mathematics.
Book Synopsis The Philosophy of Numbers by : L. Dow Balliett
Download or read book The Philosophy of Numbers written by L. Dow Balliett and published by New Falcon. This book was released on 2023-06-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A master of vibrations and numerology, Balliett successfully achieves her mission of explaining the mysteries that lay just beneath our everyday plane of existence. The author takes deliberate care in explaining how the frequency of different vibrations affect almost everything around us and how we can either blindly submit to these vibrations or actually tune in to them and hence calibrate our own vibrational attunement to a higher and more spiritual level. Mrs. L. Dow Balliett, was born March 1, 1847 as Sarah Joanna Dennis, to Quaker parents on the East Coast of the United States. In Atlantic City, Mrs. Dow held numerous leadership roles in countless civic, cultural and musical organizations, leaving her mark in history. She is best known to modern numerologists as the founder of the Master Number system, whereby the numbers 11 and 22 are not reduced. She combined Pythagoras' work with Biblical reference. She and her female student, Juno Jordan, of the California Institute of Numerical Research, founded, proved, and helped numerology become the system known today as Pythagorean. "A fascinating and informative book showing that numbers are spiritually connected to everything. This is a must read for all students of esoterica and occult practices." -- Dr. Israel Regardie

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From the time of Pythagoras, we have been tempted to treat numbers as the ultimate or only truth. This book tells the history of that habit of thought. But more, it argues that the logic of counting sacrifices much of what makes us human, and that we have a responsibility to match the objects of our attention to the forms of knowledge that do them justice. Humans have extended the insights and methods of number and mathematics to more and more aspects of the world, even to their gods and their religions.Today those powers are greater than ever, as computation is applied to virtually every aspect of human activity.But the rules of mathematics do not strictly apply to many things-from elementary particles to people-in the world.By subjecting such things to the laws of logic and mathematics, we gain some kinds of knowledge, but we also lose others. How do our choices about what parts of the world to subject to the logics of mathematics affect how we live and how we die?This question is rarely asked, but it is urgent, because the sciences built upon those laws now govern so much of our knowledge, from physics to psychology.Number and Knowledge sets out to ask it. In chapters proceeding chronologically from Ancient Greek philosophy and the rise of monotheistic religions to the emergence of modern physics and economics, the book traces how ideals, practices, and habits of thought formed over millennia have turned number into the foundation-stone of human claims to knowledge and certainty.But the book is also a philosophical and poetic exhortation to take responsibility for that history, for the knowledge it has produced, and for the many aspects of the world and of humanity that it ignores or endangers.To understand what can be counted and what can't is to embrace the ethics of purposeful knowing"--
Book Synopsis The Philosophy of Numbers by : Mrs. L. Dow Balliett
Download or read book The Philosophy of Numbers written by Mrs. L. Dow Balliett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-27 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Philosophy of Numbers: Their Tone and Colors is a book that explores the spiritual use and symbolic nature of numbers written by L. Dow Balliett. The author explains in the preface that she composed this book in response to requests she received across the world from readers who wanted a clearer approach to numerology. In this book, Balliett explores number vibration and her own beliefs on the principle of Unity – the concept that all things have but one source. Balliett's ultimate goal is apparent in the first pages of her text: declaring that each individual struggles with questions like "why am I here?" and "how do I find a place for myself in life?" or "what am I meant to do with my life?", in turn, it's Balliett's intent to utilize numerology, and numbers to explore these vital questions and apply her findings to assist readers in their own personal journeys through life and spirituality. In the book, she explores a variety of religious texts to work as both evidence to support her arguments and as red herrings that she can contradict with her own experiences and beliefs. The book offers a considerable amount of exercises for the reader to explore in their own study of numerology and symbolism. The Philosophy of Numbers: Their Tone and Colors is a spiritual guide book that offers a considerable amount of information and practice in numerology. L. Dow Balliett shares her own experiences and beliefs in depth in this complex yet approachable book. This is an interesting read for individuals intrigued by numerology, spirituality, and those looking for personal guidance in life.

Book Synopsis The Social Life of Numbers by : Gary Urton
Download or read book The Social Life of Numbers written by Gary Urton and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-05 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unraveling all the mysteries of the khipu--the knotted string device used by the Inka to record both statistical data and narrative accounts of myths, histories, and genealogies--will require an understanding of how number values and relations may have been used to encode information on social, familial, and political relationships and structures. This is the problem Gary Urton tackles in his pathfinding study of the origin, meaning, and significance of numbers and the philosophical principles underlying the practice of arithmetic among Quechua-speaking peoples of the Andes. Based on fieldwork in communities around Sucre, in south-central Bolivia, Urton argues that the origin and meaning of numbers were and are conceived of by Quechua-speaking peoples in ways similar to their ideas about, and formulations of, gender, age, and social relations. He also demonstrates that their practice of arithmetic is based on a well-articulated body of philosophical principles and values that reflects a continuous attempt to maintain balance, harmony, and equilibrium in the material, social, and moral spheres of community life.

Book Synopsis Wittgenstein's Philosophy of Mathematics by : Juliet Floyd
Download or read book Wittgenstein's Philosophy of Mathematics written by Juliet Floyd and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-12 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Wittgenstein mathematics is a human activity characterizing ways of seeing conceptual possibilities and empirical situations, proof and logical methods central to its progress. Sentences exhibit differing 'aspects', or dimensions of meaning, projecting mathematical 'realities'. Mathematics is an activity of constructing standpoints on equalities and differences of these. Wittgenstein's Later Philosophy of Mathematics (1934–1951) grew from his Early (1912–1921) and Middle (1929–33) philosophies, a dialectical path reconstructed here partly as a response to the limitative results of Gödel and Turing.
Book Synopsis The Philosophy of Mathematical Practice by : Paolo Mancosu
Download or read book The Philosophy of Mathematical Practice written by Paolo Mancosu and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-06-19 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary philosophy of mathematics offers us an embarrassment of riches. Among the major areas of work one could list developments of the classical foundational programs, analytic approaches to epistemology and ontology of mathematics, and developments at the intersection of history and philosophy of mathematics. But anyone familiar with contemporary philosophy of mathematics will be aware of the need for new approaches that pay closer attention to mathematical practice. This book is the first attempt to give a coherent and unified presentation of this new wave of work in philosophy of mathematics. The new approach is innovative at least in two ways. First, it holds that there are important novel characteristics of contemporary mathematics that are just as worthy of philosophical attention as the distinction between constructive and non-constructive mathematics at the time of the foundational debates. Secondly, it holds that many topics which escape purely formal logical treatment - such as visualization, explanation, and understanding - can nonetheless be subjected to philosophical analysis. The Philosophy of Mathematical Practice comprises an introduction by the editor and eight chapters written by some of the leading scholars in the field. Each chapter consists of short introduction to the general topic of the chapter followed by a longer research article in the area. The eight topics selected represent a broad spectrum of contemporary philosophical reflection on different aspects of mathematical practice: diagrammatic reasoning and representation systems; visualization; mathematical explanation; purity of methods; mathematical concepts; the philosophical relevance of category theory; philosophical aspects of computer science in mathematics; the philosophical impact of recent developments in mathematical physics.
