Podrobnosti o e‑knize
Philosophy and mathematics grew up together in the days of Pythagoras and Plato. Indeed, they have been in constant companionship and interaction ever since. This book examines 15 of these interactions, some dealing with the greats of history such as Aristotle and Leibniz, some addressing modern greats such as Einstein, Schrodinger, and Gödel, and some dealing not with themes, but rather the thinkers. Taken together they represent a characteristic sampling of the author’s philosophical investigations over more than three decades.

He has served as a President of the American Philosophical Association, the American Catholic Philosophy Association, the American G. W. Leibniz Society, the C. S. Peirce Society, and the American Metaphysical Society, as well as Secretary General of the International Union of History and Philosophy of Sciences. He was the founding editor of the American Philosophical Quarterly. An honorary member of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, he has been elected to membership in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain, the European Academy of Arts and Sciences (Academia Europaea), the Royal Society of Canada, the Institut International de Philosophie, and several other learned academies. He is the recipient of eight honorary degrees from universities on three continents. He was awarded the Alexander von Humboldt Prize for Humanistic Scholarship in 1984, the Belgian Prix Mercier in 2005, the Aquinas Medal of the American Catholic Philosophical Association in 2007, the Founder’s Medal of the Metaphysical Society of America in 2016, and the Helmholtz Medal of the Germany Academy of Sciences (Berlin/Brandenburg) in 2016. In 2011, he received the premier cross of the Order of Merit (Bundesverdienstkreuz Erster Klasse) of the Federal Republic of Germany in recognition of contributions to philosophy and to German-American cooperation in this domain.
