Applications of Formal Philosophy

Philosophical Analysis by Ciro de / Giordani, Alessandro Florio (Author, Editor)
This collection of original papers by international experts is devoted to illustrating the applications of logical and mathematical methods to a wide set of philosophical problems ranging from philosophy of mathematics to philosophy of science, epistemology and metaphysics

Editors: Abramsky, S., Kontinen, J., Väänänen, J., Vollmer, H. (Eds.)
Covers a relatively new area of logic, introduced by Väänänen, that has seen rapid development
Dependence logic has applications in numerous, seemingly unrelated subjects, including causality, random variables in statistics, database theory, Mendelian genetics, and quantum physics
Will be of interest to a broad group of logicians, mathematicians, statisticians, philosophers, and scientists

This monograph looks at causal nets from a philosophical point of view. The author shows that one can build a general philosophical theory of causation on the basis of the causal nets framework that can be fruitfully used to shed new light on philosophical issues. Coverage includes both a theoretical as well as application-oriented approach to the subject.

This volume brings together a group of logic-minded philosophers and philosophically oriented logicians, mainly from Asia, to address a variety of logical and philosophical topics of current interest, offering a representative cross-section of the philosophical logic landscape in early 21st-century Asia.
