Mathematics and the Image of Reason (Philosophical Issues in Science)

Description

As science becomes more heavily mathematical and as computers continue to infiltrate life in affluent societies, the philosopher's concern with mathematics has, paradoxically, dwindled. It has come to be tacitly presumed that mathematics is nothing but logic.

Concentrating on three key figures in the philosophy of mathematics--Frege, Russell, and Hilbert--Mary Tiles seeks to dispel the misconception that scientific rationality and the character of reason is merely pure logic--and therefore inherently at odds with imagination. Tiles argues against those who see mathematics as uncreative and irrelevant to our postmodern, post-structuralist age.
