It prompts us to reconsider our assumptions about logic and to adopt a more nuanced perspective. Is logic truly topic-neutral and universal, or can we take its application for granted? This book suggests that we should not be dogmatic about logic but rather raise similar critical inquiries about it as Kant did regarding metaphysics and mathematics. It challenges the Fregean logic-first view, which posits logic as fundamental and independent of any extra-logical considerations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile Quine integrated logic and mathematics into the theoretical aspects of empirical science, this volume explores views that stop short of his thoroughgoing holism but instead take logic to be answerable to or entangled with specific disciplines. The contributions present diverse viewpoints that prioritize mathematical reasons, Kantian metaphysical grounds, Husserlian transcendental phenomenological reflection, or normative considerations about how terms should be defined in various fields of empirical science or mathematics. This creates a space between a Fregean position and Quinean holism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCritical Views of Logic will be an invaluable resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students in philosophy, linguistics, mathematics, computer science, as well as those engaged in various empirical science fields. The chapters in this book, except for chapter 4, were originally published in the journal Inquiry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 585g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032573519\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Unspecified","offer_id":44839430521082,"sku":"9781032573519","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1701451620522_book.jpg?v=1701586256","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/critical-views-of-logic-9781032573519","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
