Hardys classic textbook, A Course of Pure Mathematics. Complete with actual images of the annotations, it gives readers a more complete picture of Wittgensteins remarks on irrational numbers, which have only been published in an excerpted form and, as a result, have often been unjustly criticized. The authors first establish the context behind the annotations and discuss the historical role of Hardys textbook. They then go on to outline Wittgensteins non-extensionalist point of view on real numbers, assessing his manuscripts and published remarks and discussing attitudes in play in the philosophy of mathematics since Dedekind. Next, coverage focuses on the annotations themselves. The discussion encompasses irrational numbers (annotations on pages 2-9 of the 1941 edition of Hardy's book), the law of excluded middle in mathematics and the notion of an improper picture," the continuum of real numbers (annotations on pages 10-30), and Wittgensteins attitude toward functions and limits, which scrutinizes his annotations on pages 40-47 and 117-121 and examines their challenges and meaning in light of underlying manuscripts. Overall, the authors show that Wittgensteins argumentation should not be taken to reject Dedekind cuts per se, but only a one-sided, reductive extensionalism that belies actual mathematical practice. They discuss and defend Wittgensteins version of non-extensionalism and, in two final essays, debate the nature and contemporary relevance of this view. i will be very grateful when you support me and buy Or Renew Your Premium from my i appreciate your support Too much as it will help me to post more and more Without You And Your Support We Cant Continue Thanks For Buying Premium From My Links For Support Links Table     Title Link Password Size (MB) Thank to Inform Admin Del 2856544 Book https://k2s.cc/file/9b07be84516ad...   15.37 alex21s X 2856545 Book https://k2s.cc/file/ddfa1e590cc45...   5.84 alex21s X Title Link Password Size Reason Dead link New format   Those who downloaded this book also downloaded the following books: Comments New comment:
