Metaphysical Myths, Mathematical Practice: The Ontology and Epistemology of the Exact Sciences
Azzouni, Jody (Tufts University, Massachusetts)
Jody Azzouni argues that mathematical knowledge really is a special kind of knowledge with its own special means of gathering evidence. He analyses the linguistic pitfalls and misperceptions philosophers in this field are often prone to, and explores the misapplications of epistemic principles from the empirical sciences to the exact sciences.
