More Precisely

Description:

"It is impossible to fully understand much of the most important work in contemporary philosophy without a basic grasp of set theory, functions, probability, modality, and infinity. ... Steinhart provides lucid explanations of the basic mathematical concepts and sets out the most commonly used notational conventions. Furthermore, he demonstrates how mathematics applies to many fundamental issues in branches of philosophy such as metaphysics, philosophy of language, epistemology, and ethics."--p. [4] of cover.
