Abstract

"Conditionals, Paradox, and Probability brings together fifteen original essays by experts in philosophy and linguistics. These specially written chapters draw on themes from the work of Dorothy Edgington, the first woman to hold a chair in philosophy at the University of Oxford. The contributors to this volume focus on the key topics to which Edgington has made many important contributions, including conditionals, vagueness, the paradox of knowability, and probability. Their insights will be of interest to philosophers, linguists, and psychologists working in philosophical logic, natural language semantics, and reasoning." [Publisher]

Abstract

This book explores if/si-constructions in spoken English, French and Spanish, from a functional-pragmatic and corpus-based perspective. The analysis comprises instances of subordination, namely, conditional constructions – including prototypical cause-consequence patterns as well as other conditionals in which the conditional meaning is weaker – and cases of insubordination introduced by if and si. The theoretical framework is based on the three metafunctions distinguished in Systemic Functional Linguistics, and the data analysed are retrieved from parliamentary discourse and conversations corpora. The examination of conditional constructions and cases of insubordination in parallel offers new light on the characterization of if/si-constructions and their uses and functions in interaction.

Abstract

Chacun des dix chapitres de ce volume est consacré à l'examen philosophique d'une question ou d'une notion fondamentale en logique : la conséquence logique, la démonstration, la vérité, le sens et la référence, la logique du second ordre, la négation, les conditionnels, l'universalisme logique, les logiques non classique et le pluralisme, et le phénomène d'incomplétude. Cet ouvrage, auquel ont contribué douze chercheurs spécialisés en histoire et philosophie de la logique, comble une lacune éditoriale dans la philosophie contemporaine francophone.Il intéresse à la fois les philosophes qui possèdent une formation de base en logique et les logiciens qui souhaitent porter un regard philosophique sur les concepts fondamentaux de leur discipline. Ce premier volume sera suivi d'un second de philosophie des mathématiques (sous la direction d'Andrew Arana et Marco Panza). Le projet commun est d'offrir une introduction riche, pédagogique et claire aux principaux débats contemporains de philosophie des mathématiques et de la logique (vol. 1)
