Reichenbach S Paradise: Constructing the Realm of Probabilstic Common Causes - Hardcover

$123.48

by Leszek Wronski (Author)Since its introduction by Hans Reichenbach, many philosophers have claimed to refute the idea - known as the common cause principle - that any surprising correlation between any two factors that do not directly influence one another is due to some common cause. For example, falsity of the principle is frequently inferred from falsifiability of Bell's inequalities. The author demonstrates, however, that the situation is not so straightforward. There is more than one v...

Godel's Mistake: The Role of Meaning in Mathematics - Paperback

$16.61

by Ashish Dalela (Author)Why Is Mathematics Incomplete?Godel's incompleteness theorem is a foundational result in mathematics that proves that any axiomatic theory of numbers will be either inconsistent or incomplete. Turing's Halting problem is a foundational result in computing proving that computers cannot know if a program will halt. Godel's Mistake connects these theorems to the question of meaning. The book shows that the proofs arise due to category confusions between names, concepts, ...
