Zustand: Sehr gut. (20.Aufl.). XII; 346 S.; 21 cm; kart. Sehr gutes Ex. - Englisch. - Willard Van Orman Quine (* 25. Juni 1908 in Akron, Ohio; 25. Dezember 2000 in Boston, Massachusetts) war ein US-amerikanischer Philosoph und Logiker. Quine gilt als bedeutender Vertreter der analytischen Philosophie und des philosophischen Naturalismus sowie des Holismus. Im Bereich der systematischen theoretischen Philosophie gehört er zu den bedeutendsten englischsprachigen Philosophen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Mit ihm verschob sich das Zentrum der analytischen Bewegung von England und dem europäischen Kontinent in die USA. Sein Werk berührt alle Kerndisziplinen der theoretischen Philosophie wie Erkenntnistheorie, Sprachphilosophie, Wissenschaftstheorie, Logik und Ontologie. Quine gehörte zu den wichtigsten Kritikern der Philosophie des Wiener Kreises. Er bemühte sich, den logischen Empirismus von seinen dogmatischen Elementen zu befreien und ihn mit Argumenten aus der Tradition des amerikanischen Pragmatismus anzureichern. Sein sprachphilosophischer und wissenschaftstheoretischer Holismus ist in der analytischen Philosophie bis heute Gegenstand kontroverser Diskussionen. .

Hardcover. First edition. QUINE'S 'NEW FOUNDATIONS'. First edition, the rare offprint issue, of the paper in which Quine first presented his axiom system for set theory (now usually known as 'NF'). "Although [Quine] is best known to a wider public for his philosophical writings, his most enduring and most concrete legacy for the next 50 years may well turn out to be his most mathematical: he gave us NF" (Forster, p. 838). NF was intended to address the 'crisis of foundations' that mathematicians have attempted to resolve since the early 20th century. "This 'crisis' had many causes and despite the disappearance of the expression from contemporary speech has never really been resolved. One of its many causes was the increasing formalisation of mathematics, which brought with it the realisation that the paradox of the liar could infect even mathematics itself. This appears most simply in the form of 'Russell's paradox', appropriately in the heart of set theory. At first blush one might think that where sets are concerned any intension has an extension: this is the axiom of naïve set existence. For any property of sets there exists a set containing precisely the sets with that property, all of those and no others. This leads rapidly to Russell's paradox, the paradox of the class of all sets that are not members of themselves. This is the Russell class. Is it a member of itself? Well, if it is, it isn't, and if it isn't, it is. This is Russell's paradox. The aperçu that leapt to mind was that the problem has something to do with the possibility of sets being members of themselves, or to do with defining sets in terms of membership of themselves. Although these two might sound like formulations of the same insight, they nevertheless lead to radically different resolutions, and to two traditions in set theory represented by Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory (often just called 'set theory' by its votaries, and in any case universally abbreviated to 'ZF') and Quine's NF" (ibid., pp. 838-9). No copies of this offprint listed on ABPC/RBH. The first attempt to resolve Russell's and other similar paradoxes was made by Russell himself (1908) in his theory of types. In this theory, every set is assigned a type (a positive whole number); the bottom type is a type of atoms and sets of type n+1 are sets of things of type n. Every variable of the theory is constrained to range over one level only. This means that Russell's paradox cannot even be formulated within type theory. However, the theory was found to have many drawbacks, as it prevented not only the formulation of the troublesome paradoxes, but also other apparently sensible statements. In addition, it necessarily introduces infinite multiplicities: for example, there has to be one empty set of each possible type, as well as a set of natural numbers of each type, etc. NF is similar to Russell's theory in that it involves types, but rather than assign a type to each set once and for all, it assigns a type to each variable in a given formula. If a variable x in a given formula is assigned type n, and if 'x ? y' appears in the formula, then y must be assigned type n+1. In addition, if 'x = y' appears in the formula, then x and y must have the same type. A formula is 'stratified' if there is an assignment of types to variables in the formula that meets these constraints. The axioms of NF are now simply stated: extensionality, together with a scheme that says that the extension of a stratified formula is a stratified formula. NF avoids the paradoxes of naive set theory because the formulas necessary to formulate the paradoxes are not stratified (for example, a set cannot be a member of itself because x ? x is obviously not a stratified formula). But it also avoids the multiplicities and other difficulties inherent in Russell's type theory. The approach taken in ZF is to restrict what objects can be called sets, rather than to impose restrictions on how sets are defined, as is done in NF. In ZF the empty set is a set, and any collection of sets is a set (and there are no other sets). ZF appears to resolve Russell's paradox because the 'set' of all sets that are not members of themselves is not in fact a set. Although ZF appears to be able to accommodate the whole of mathematics, many mathematicians believe ZF fails to capture the informal concept of a set: in ZF there is no universal set ('the set of all sets'), and the universe of sets is not closed under the elementary operations of the algebra of sets. NF is less restrictive: for example, in NF there is a universal set ('the set of all sets'). On the other hand, it was proved by Specker that the Axiom of Choice is false in NF, which some mathematicians believe restricts its usefulness for mathematics. The debate NF vs. ZF is ongoing. T.

First edition, first printing, presentation copy from the author to the American mathematician Edward Vermilye Huntington (1874-1952), inscribed on the front free endpaper "To Edward V. Huntington with kindest regards - Van Quine". Mathematical Logic was derived from the course of lectures in the subject which Quine delivered at Harvard University, in part aimed as a clear exposition of the subject for students, but also outlines the new research in the field which he had conducted since the publication of his System of Logistic in 1934. Quine was "familiar with the work of E. V. Huntington, who taught in the Harvard mathematics department for decades up to and including the 1930s, when Quine wrote 'Truth by Convention'. Huntington was one of the most influential proponents of what Michael Scanlan calls American postulate theory. In 'Truth by Convention', Quine criticizes some of Huntington's work, but refers to the 'postulate method' with approval" (Gary Ebbs, Carnap, Quine, and Putnam on Methods of Inquiry, 2017, p. 84). Octavo. Original green cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Fragments of original jacket loosely inserted at rear. Extremities lightly sunned and bumped, contents gently toned. A very good copy.
