Cambridge University Press Expressivism Pragmatism and Representationalism
Book SynopsisPragmatists have traditionally been enemies of representationalism but friends of naturalism, when naturalism is understood to pertain to human subjects, in the sense of Hume and Nietzsche. In this volume Huw Price presents his distinctive version of this traditional combination, as delivered in his Renà Descartes Lectures at Tilburg University in 2008. Price contrasts his view with other contemporary forms of philosophical naturalism, comparing it with other pragmatist and neo-pragmatist views such as those of Robert Brandom and Simon Blackburn. Linking their different 'expressivist' programmes, Price argues for a radical global expressivism that combines key elements from both. With Paul Horwich and Michael Williams, Brandom and Blackburn respond to Price in new essays. Price replies in the closing essay, emphasising links between his views and those of Wilfrid Sellars. The volume will be of great interest to advanced students of philosophy of language and metaphysics.Trade Review'A fascinating set of lectures, commentaries, and replies. I have learned much from the arguments that Huw Price and the commentators advance.'

Cambridge University Press Introduction to HigherOrder Categorical Logic 7 Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics Series Number 7
Book SynopsisIn this book the authors reconcile two different viewpoints of the foundations of mathematics, namely mathematical logic and category theory. In Part I, they show that typed lambda-calculi, a formulation of higher order logic, and cartesian closed categories are essentially the same. In Part II, it is demonstrated that another formulation of higher order logic (intuitionistic type theories) is closely related to topos theory. Part III is devoted to recursive functions. Numerous applications of the close relationship between traditional logic and the algebraic language of category theory are given. The authors have included an introduction to category theory and develop the necessary logic as required, making the book essentially self-contained. Detailed historical references are provided throughout, and each section concludes with a set of exercises. Thus it is well-suited for graduate courses and research in mathematics and logic. Researchers in theoretical computer science, artificiaTrade Review'A readable and timely account of important results, most of which were not previously available in book form.' Bulletin of the London Mathematical SocietyTable of ContentsPreface; Part I. Introduction to Category Theory: Part II. Cartesian Closed Categories and Calculus: Part III. Type Theory and Toposes: Part IV. Representing Numerical Functions in Various Categories; Bibliography; Author index; Subject index.

Cambridge University Press Creating Modern Probability
Book SynopsisThis is the only book to chart the history and development of modern probability theory, showing how in the first thirty years of this century probability theory became a mathematical science.Trade Review'… von Plato has consulted and drawn on a substantial body of archival material: letters, unpublished manuscripts, and drafts of later-published papers. Thus his book does not just (as is sometimes the case) simply revisit the standard chestnuts of the field, but substantially adds to our knowledge of them … In sum, this is a welcome addition to the literature: timely, informed, and technically competent.' IsisTable of ContentsPreface; 1. Introduction; 2. Pathways to modern probability; 3. Probability in statistical physics; 4. Quantum mechanical probability and indeterminism; 5. Classical embeddings of probability and chance; 6. Von Mises' frequentist probabilities; 7. Kolmogorov's measure theoretic probabilities; 8.

Cambridge University Press Emergence of Meaning
Book SynopsisUsing the examples of English and Mandarin Chinese, Crain demonstrates that the underlying expressions and structures in these typologically different languages directly correlate to those of classical logic. Moreover Crain presents experimental data which shows the emergence of these concepts in the languages spoken by young children.Trade Review'This careful and sophisticated study provides powerful empirical evidence, from many sources, for logical nativism, the thesis that human languages make use of the logical concepts and laws of classical logic, and that these are contingent facts that are not learned and not required for a rational creature. It extends the conclusion to other aspects of natural language, its acquisition and use. The conclusions are compelling, and of great import for linguistics, philosophical logic, and psychology of language and mind quite generally.' Noam Chomsky, Massachusetts Institute of Technology'In this lucid study of how children understand logical vocabulary, Crain makes a powerful case for a substantive form of logical nativism. Using tools from classical logic and generative grammar, he unifies a range of individually impressive experimental results, thereby illustrating his fruitful method for investigating how semantic and logical competences are related.' Paul M. Pietroski, University of Maryland'New and deep ideas are a rarity in the study of language acquisition, and Stephen Crain's The Emergence of Meaning has plenty of both. This is likely to be considered one of the most important books in language acquisition in years.' Steven Pinker, Harvard College Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of The Language Instinct and The Stuff of ThoughtTable of Contents1. Logic and human languages; 2. Competing approaches to language and logic; 3. The case for logical nativism; 4. Scope parameters; 5. How something can be both positive and negative; 6. Two logical operators for the price of one.

Cambridge University Press Computability and Logic Fifth Edition
Computability and Logic has become a classic because of its accessibility to students without a mathematical background and because it covers not simply the staple topics of an intermediate logic course, but also a large number of optional topics, from Turing's theory of computability to Ramsey's theorem. This fifth edition was first published in 2007.

Cambridge University Press Argumentation Schemes
Book SynopsisThis book provides a systematic analysis of many common argumentation schemes and a compendium of 96 schemes. The study of these schemes, or forms of argument that capture stereotypical patterns of human reasoning, is at the core of argumentation research. Surveying all aspects of argumentation schemes from the ground up, the book takes the reader from the elementary exposition in the first chapter to the latest state of the art in the research efforts to formalize and classify the schemes, outlined in the last chapter. It provides a systematic and comprehensive account, with notation suitable for computational applications that increasingly make use of argumentation schemes.Table of Contents1. Basic tools in the state of the art; 2. Schemes for argument from analogy, classification and precedent; 3. Knowledge-related, practical and other schemes; 4. Arguments from generally accepted opinions, commitment and character; 5. Causal argumentation schemes; 6. Schemes and enthymemes; 7. Attack, rebuttal and refutation; 8. The history of schemes; 9. A user's compendium of schemes; 10. Refining the classification of schemes; 11. Formalizing schemes; 12. Schemes in computer systems.
