Description

Explore a detailed account of Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophy of mathematics with this academic work from Routledge. This book provides a deep dive into how Wittgenstein approached mathematical thought and his lasting impact on the field. Part I sets the foundation by discussing Frege's logicist attempt to provide arithmetic with a foundation and Wittgenstein's criticisms of that approach. It also provides sketches of his early views found in the Tractatus and during the early 1930s. In Part II, the text examines Wittgenstein's mature philosophy of mathematics from 1937-44. Schroeder explains how this mature period is based on two key ideas: the calculus view and the grammar view. This book serves as an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the history of mathematics and the evolution of philosophical thought regarding mathematical foundations.
