Description

John Burgess is the author of a rich and creative body of work which seeks to defend classical logic and mathematics through counter-criticism of their nominalist, intuitionist, relevantist, and other critics.

This selection of his essays, which spans twenty-five years, addresses key topics including nominalism, neo-logicism, intuitionism, modal logic, analyticity, and translation.

An introduction sets the essays in context and offers a retrospective appraisal of their aims.

The volume will be of interest to a wide range of readers across philosophy of mathematics, logic, and philosophy of language.
