Description

Centered around our knowledge of mathematical, modal, and a priori truths, this is a collection that celebrates the work of Keith Hossack, who, throughout his career, has made outstanding contributions to the theory of knowledge, metaphysics, and the philosophy of mathematics. Starting with a focus on our knowledge of abstract entities such as mathematical objects and the source of the necessity of mathematical truths, attention moves to the notion of necessity and its interaction with a priori knowledge: Is it the case that a proposition is necessarily true precisely when it is known a priori? Coverage concludes by zooming out to offer new perspectives on the theory of knowledge: What is knowledge? Is knowing a relation between an agent and a fact? How can we explain rational ignorance by a theory of content? How can we know the content of our own minds, and what does it tell us about the role of a priori knowledge? Featuring chapters by colleagues and students of Hossacks, a team of contributors that includes established philosophers and up and coming academics, Knowledge of Truths in the Philosophy of Mathematics<\/i> represents some of the most vibrant discussions taking place in analytic philosophy today. Review "Bold, original, and rigorously argued, Keith Hossack's philosophical work deserves to be appreciated much more widely than it is. This collection of essays by some of Hossack's colleagues and former students at the University of London should win for that work new readers and new admirers." --Ian Rumfitt, Senior Research Fellow in Philosophy, All Souls College, Oxford, UK"Keith Hossack's philosophical work has been distinguished by its originality, precision and insight. This volume is a fitting tribute. A panoply of notable contributors offer important responses to his ground-breaking analyses of knowledge, numbers and facts, and Hossack himself supplies an illuminating digest of his current position." --David Papineau, Professor of Philosophy, King's College London, UK About the Author Nils Kürbis is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Lodz, Poland.Bahram Assadian is Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.Jonathan Nassim is an independent scholar. He took his PhD, on theories of possibility, at Birkbeck College, UK. He has published widely including in the journals History and Philosophy of Logic and Theoria.
