Beschreibung

Compared to our appreciation of the epistemology of the sciences and mathematics, we have a relatively poor understanding of the epistemology of logic. This Element highlights three causes of this lack of progress: (i) failure to distinguish between the epistemology of logical theorising and that of good (logical) reasoning; (ii) hesitancy to base epistemology of logic on how logicians actually justify their logics, rather than our own presumptions about logic; and (iii) a presumption that the epistemology of logic must be significantly different to other research areas, such as the recognised sciences. The Element ends by highlighting what can be achieved by avoiding these pitfalls, presenting an account of theory-choice in logic, logical predictivism, motivated by actual logical practice, which suggests that the mechanisms of theory-choice in logic are not that different to those in the recognised sciences. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Über den Autor

Ben Martin presents a photojournalist's view of Marcel Marceau in Marcel Marceau: Master of Mime, portraying the legendary mime artist behind the scenes, rehearsing, in performance and at home. Begun as a Life magazine pictorial in the mid-1970s, their artistic collaboration produced an intense, intimate portrait of the mime, whose stage creation, a white-faced clown in bell-bottom pants, sailor's pullover and crumpled flower opera hat, continued a century old tradition. In more than 350 photographs, 80 in exquisite color, Martin captures Marceau behind the scenes, rehearsing, applying makeup, and performing on stage, showing the artist expressing his miraculous emotional range as Bip, his onstage alter ego. Ben Martin (1930-2017), was mentored by W. Eugene Smith and hired by Wilson Hicks as a staff photographer at Time/Life upon graduation from Ohio University. He covered wars, fashion, politics, arts, business and sports for Time, Life, Fortune, People and Sports Illustrated for thirty-three years. He covered Martin Luther King Jr.'s march from Selma to Montgomery, the first Nixon-Kennedy Presidential debate, Fidel Castro in Cuba and "Swinging London," capturing "evocative images that defined the 1960s," according to the New York Times. His books include A Different World and Marcel Marceau: Master of Mime. His archive is housed at the Briscoe Center, University of Texas, Austin.
