Coverage begins with a thorough introduction to formalization and to the advantages and pitfalls of formal methods in philosophy. The ensuing chapters show how to use formal methods in a wide range of areas. Throughout, the contributors clarify the relationships and interdependencies between formal and informal notions and constructions. Their main focus is to show how formal treatments of philosophical problems may help us understand them better. Formal methods can be used to solve problems but also to express new philosophical problems that would never have seen the light of day without the expressive power of the formal apparatus. Formal philosophy merges work in different areas of philosophy as well as logic, mathematics, computer science, linguistics, physics, psychology, biology, economics, political theory, and sociology. This title offers an accessible introduction to this new interdisciplinary research area to a wide academic audience. 410 0$aSpringer Undergraduate Texts in Philosophy,$x2569-8737 606 $aAnalysis (Philosophy) 606 $aMathematical logic 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aEthics 606 $aAnalytic Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E39000 606 $aMathematical Logic and Formal Languages$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I16048 606 $aMathematical Logic and Foundations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M24005 606 $aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19005 606 $aMoral Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E41000 615 0$aAnalysis (Philosophy). 615 0$aMathematical logic. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aEthics. 615 14$aAnalytic Philosophy. 615 24$aMathematical Logic and Formal Languages. 615 24$aMathematical Logic and Foundations. 615 24$aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. 615 24$aMoral Philosophy. 676 $a001.42 702 $aHansson$b Sven Ove$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHendricks$b Vincent F$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300632503321 996 $aIntroduction to Formal Philosophy$92209061 997 $aUNINA
