Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed inquiry into the nature of the mathematical and demonstrative reasoning process. It suggests that mathematical reasoning proceeds from definitions and is essentially a matter of tracing the relations of our ideas of figure and quantity by means of exactly defined terms, whether words, diagrams, or other symbols. The author argues that this process is not inherently different from reasoning in other fields, thus, mathematical evidence shouldn't be considered superior to other kinds of evidence. The book explores the implications of this argument, including the possibility of applying mathematical certainty to other disciplines such as ethics and religion. In sum, this book provides a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate on the nature of reasoning and the possibility of mathematical certainty in non-mathematical fields. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282901172_0
