When Form Becomes Substance
This interdisciplinary volume collects contributions from experts in their respective fields with as common theme diagrams. Diagrams play a fundamental role in the mathematical visualization and philosophical analysis of forms in space. Some of the most interesting and profound recent developments in contemporary sciences, whether in topology, geometry, dynamic systems theory, quantum field theory or string theory, have been made possible by the introduction of new types of diagrams, which, in addition to their essential role in the discovery of new classes of spaces and phenomena, have contributed to enriching and clarifying the meaning of the operations, structures and properties that are ...
Through the Pale Dawn
Through the Pale Dawn [A travers l’aube pâle] est un des deux nouveaux livres du photographe portugais Carlos Lobo. Les images réunies dans ce recueil photographique ont été prises lors d’un séjour de plusieurs semaines en Corée du Nord. Comme on le sait, il est très difficile de photographier dans ce pays. Carlos Lobo a dû se résoudre au voyage en groupe, organisé, et encadré par des guides qui font découvrir aux touristes ce que le pouvoir en place les autorise à regarder. Aussi, loin des représentations habituelles où la propagande est toujours manifeste, le photographe s’attache à photographier des “petites choses” du quotidien des Nord Coréens. Des images prises à côté de la vision officielle : scènes en marge des sites visités, vues urbaines ou de nature loin des grands monuments ou impérieux immeubles, portraits de gens dans leur vie de tous les jours. Cette photographie documentaire “poétique” n’exclut pas le regard politique qui remonte, ci et là, au fil des pages du livre. Through the Pale Dawn sort chez Loco en même temps que The Idea of Silence, livre de photographies prises au Japon peu après le drame de Fukushima.
Logic, Epistemology, and Scientific Theories - From Peano to the Vienna Circle
This book provides a collection of chapters on the development of scientific philosophy and symbolic logic in the early twentieth century. The turn of the last century was a key transitional period for the development of symbolic logic and scientific philosophy. The Peano school, the editorial board of the Revue de Métaphysique et de Morale, and the members of the Vienna Circle are generally mentioned as champions of this transformation of the role of logic in mathematics and in the sciences. The scholarship contained provides a rich historical and philosophical understanding of these groups and research areas. Specifically, the contributions focus on a detailed investigation of the relation between structuralism and modern mathematics. In addition, this book provides a closer understanding of the relation between symbolic logic and previous traditions such as syllogistics. This volume also informs the reader on the relation between logic, the history and didactics in the Peano School. This edition appeals to students and researchers working in the history of philosophy and of logic, philosophy of science, as well as to researchers on the Vienna Circle and the Peano School.
The New Yearbook for Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy
The New Yearbook for Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy provides an annual international forum for phenomenological research in the spirit of Husserl's groundbreaking work and the extension of this work by such figures as Scheler, Heidegger, Sartre, Levinas, Merleau-Ponty and Gadamer.

Weyl and the Problem of Space
This book investigates Hermann Weyl’s work on the problem of space from the early 1920s onwards. It presents new material and opens the philosophical problem of space anew, crossing the disciplines of mathematics, history of science and philosophy. With a Kantian starting point Weyl asks: among all the infinitely many conceivable metrical spaces, which one applies to the physical world? In agreement with general relativity, Weyl acknowledges that the metric can quantitatively vary with the physical situation. Despite this freedom, Weyl “deduces”, with group-theoretical technicalities, that there is only one “kind” of legitimate metric. This construction was then decisive for the de...

Peirce and Husserl: Mutual Insights on Logic, Mathematics and Cognition
This volume aims to provide the elements for a systematic exploration of certain fundamental notions of Peirce and Husserl in respect with foundations of science by means of drawing a parallelism between their works. Tackling a largely understudied comparison between these two contemporary philosophers, the authors highlight the significant similarities in some of their fundamental ideas. This volume consists of eleven chapters under four parts. The first part concerns methodologies and main principles of the two philosophers. An introductory chapter outlines central historical and systematical themes arising out of the recent scholarship on Peirce and Husserl. The second part is on logic, its Chapters dedicated to the topics from Peirce’s Existential Graphs and the philosophy of notation to Husserl’s notions of pure logic and transcendental logic. The third part includes contributions on philosophy of mathematics. Chapters in the final part deal with the theory of cognition, consciousness and intentionality. The closing chapter provides an extended glossary of central terms of Peirce’s theory of phaneroscopy, explaining them from the viewpoint of the theory of cognition.
