Description
Logic and Science examines the philosophical debate surrounding the nature of logic and its relationship to empirical science. The authors challenge logical exceptionalism—the traditional view that logic is fundamentally different from and more certain than scientific knowledge.
Through rigorous philosophical analysis, Ferrari and Carrara develop the case for logical anti-exceptionalism, proposing that logical laws and principles are subject to empirical revision just like other scientific claims. This perspective has profound implications for understanding the foundations of mathematics, the nature of rational inquiry, and the unity of knowledge.
Part of the Elements in Philosophy and Logic series, this concise yet comprehensive treatment makes significant contributions to contemporary philosophy of logic, offering readers a sophisticated introduction to debates about logicism, empiricism, and the status of logical truth in modern philosophy.
