About the Book

This book is meant as a part of the larger contemporary philosophical project of naturalizing logico-mathematical knowledge, and addresses the key question that motivates most of the work in this field: What is philosophically relevant about the nature of logico-mathematical knowledge in recent research in psychology and cognitive science? The question about this distinctive kind of knowledge is rooted in Plato’s dialogues, and virtually all major philosophers have expressed interest in it. The essays in this collection tackle this important philosophical query from the perspective of the modern sciences of cognition, namely cognitive psychology and neuroscience. Naturalizing Logico-Mathematical Knowledge contributes to consolidating a new, emerging direction in the philosophy of mathematics, which, while keeping the traditional concerns of this sub-discipline in sight, aims to engage with them in a scientifically-informed manner. A subsequent aim is to signal the philosophers’ willingness to enter into a fruitful dialogue with the community of cognitive scientists and psychologists by examining their methods and interpretive strategies.

About the Author :
Sorin Bangu is Professor in the Department of Philosophy, University of Bergen, Norway. He works in philosophy of mathematics and philosophy of physics, having longstanding interests in epistemology and the history of analytic philosophy. He is the author of The Applicability of Mathematics: Indispensability and Ontology (2012).

Review :
"In the name of 'cooperative naturalism', Sorin Bangu has put together a first-rate collection of articles by philosophers and psychologists . . . This collection is a welcome addition to the existing literature, and unquestionably succeeds in its main aim of forging connections between the psychology and philosophy of mathematics."—Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews "Sorin Bangu has assembled an important collection of papers on the project of naturalizing mathematics and logic. It will be a must read both for those who favour that project and also for those who disfavour it."—Jeff Buechner Rutgers University–Newark, USA
