چکیده

We propose a formal representation of objects, those being mathematical or empirical objects. The powerful framework inside which we represent them in a unique and coherent way is grounded, on the formal side, in a logical approach with a direct mathematical semantics in the well-established field of constructive topology, and, on the philosophical side, in a neo-Kantian perspective emphasizing the knowing subject’s role, which is constructive for the mathematical objects and constitutive for the empirical ones.

Vagueness, Kant and Topology: a Study of Formal Epistemology

The second one is formal: to face vagueness, and our philosophical view on it, we propose to use topology and formal topology. We show that the Kantian and the topological features joined together al...

Taking Seriously Knowledge as a Mental State

Frege, it is often said, liberated the theory of meaning and logic from epistemology. He despised the neo-Kantian Erkenntnistheorie of his time as just another form of psychologism. He was not interested in how we come to know numbers, meanings and logical laws, but in what it is for numbers, meanings, and logical laws, to be the objects of knowledge, independently of any human subject. He acce...

Kant’s Concepts of Justification

Epistemologists surveying the literature on “Kant’s epistemology” often feel at sea. Even bracketing differences in terminology and emphasis, Kant’s writing about knowledge can seem foreign to the contemporary discussion in a way that, for instance, Hume’s or Reid’s does not. Those working in Kant’s epistemology, on the other hand, dissect with great care his arguments about space and time as t...

From Intuition to Tolerance : The Development of Carnap ’ s Philosophy of Mathematics ∗

I shall consider a sequence of episodes in Carnap’s thinking about mathematics beginning with his doctoral dissertation Der Raum (1922), which represents the most explicitly Kantian episode in his thought. I proceed to developments leading up through the Aufbau (1928), then turn to The Logical Syntax of Language (1934)—where the Principle of Tolerance is first officially formulated—and conclude...
