The stuff of proof
- January 31, 2015
- Penelope Maddy, logic and philosophy of science Distinguished Professor, is featured in 3:AM MAGAZINE January 31, 2015
From 3:AM:
Penelope Maddy is the candy-store kid of metaphilosophical logic and maths. She’s
stocked up with groovy thoughts about the axioms of mathematics, about what might
count as a good reason to adopt one, about mathematical realism, about Gödel’s intuitions,
naturalism, second philosophy, Hume and Quine, world-word connections, about where
mathematical objectivity comes from, about the limitations of drawing analogies, about
depth, about Wittgenstein and the logical must, about the Kantianism of the Tractatus
and about the relationship between science and philosophy.
