| This book contains around of a score of essays that examine or
use Popperís fallibilist philosophy of science from various points
of view. The opening sextet includes a new solution of the
problem of induction, the status of corroboration, and the place
of truth-values and logic(s). Then follow a trio of studies of
relationships with some other philosophies, especially Bertrand
Russellís. Next come five essays on the history and
historiography of science and mathematics, and of mathematics
education. They are followed by a quintet of speculations relating
to aspects of psychology, especially psychical research,
coincidences and the formation of languages in humans. Finally
come two new items: one on the philosophy of mathematics,
the other a public acknowledgement of the influence of Popper
in August 2009 when the International Commission on the
History of Mathematics awarded Grattan-Guinness the
Kenneth O. May Medal and Prize in the History of Mathematics.
I. Grattan-Guinness is Emeritus Professor of the History of
Mathematics and Logic at Middlesex University, England,
and also a Visiting Research Associate in the Centre for
Philosophy of Natural and Social Science at the London
School of Economics. |
