The Search for Certainty: A Philosophical Account of Foundations of Mathematics
Oxford University Press, USA | 2002 | ISBN: 019875244X | 330 pages | PDF | 13 MB
"The Search for Certainty is a superb synoptic account of the intense and fruitful work that went into clarifying the foundations of mathematics...It fills the gap in the literature that Giaquinto reports to have noticed when a student of logic, and it does so in an excellent manner." -- The Review of Modern Logic
The nineteenth century saw a movement to make higher mathematics rigorous. This seemed to be on the brink of success when it was thrown into confusion by the discovery of the class paradoxes. That initiated a period of intense research into the foundations of mathematics, and with it the birth of mathematical logic and a new, sharper debate in the philosophy of mathematics.
The Search for Certainty examines this foundational endeavour from the discovery of the paradoxes to the present. Focusing on Russell's logicist programme and Hilbert's finitist programme, Giaquinto investigates how successful they were and how successful they could be. These questions are set in the context of a clear, non-technical exposition and assessment of the most important discoveries in mathematical logic, above all Godel's underivability theorems. More than six decades after those discoveries, Giaquinto asks what our present perspective should be on the question of certainty in mathematics. Taking recent developments into account, he gives reasons for a surprisingly positive response.Visit my Blog (Profile) at this site.
