Summary:
Philosophers often have tried to either reduce 'disagreeable' objects
or concepts to (more) acceptable objects or concepts. Reduction is
regarded attractive by those who subscribe to an ideal of ontological
parsimony. But the topic is not just restricted to traditional
metaphysics or ontology. In the philosophy of mathematics,
abstraction principles, such as Hume's principle, have been suggested
to support a reconstruction of mathematics by logical means only. In
the philosophy of language and the philosophy of science, the logical
analysis of language has long been regarded to be the dominating
paradigm, and liberalised projects of logical reconstruction remain
to be driving forces of modern philosophy. This volume collects
contributions comprising all those topics, including articles by
Alexander Bird, Jaakko Hintikka, James Ladyman, Rohit Parikh, Gerhard
Schurz, Peter Simons, Crispin Wright and Edward N Zalta.
