Knowledge, Number and Reality: Encounters with the Work of Keith Hossack
Editat de Nils Kürbis, Bahram Assadian, Jonathan Nassimen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 iul 2023
This collection of previously unpublished papers begins with a focus on Hossack's conception of the nature of knowledge, his metaphysics of facts and his account of the relations between knowledge, agents and facts. Attention moves to Hossack's philosophy of mind and the nature of consciousness, before turning to the notion of necessity and its interaction with a priori knowledge. Hossack's views on the nature of proof, logical truth, conditionals and generality are discussed in depth. In the final chapters, questions about the identity of mathematical objects and our knowledge of them take centre stage, together with questions about the necessity and generality of mathematical and logical truths.
Knowledge, Number and Reality represents some of the most vibrant discussions taking place in analytic philosophy today.

Recenzii
Bold, original, and rigorously argued, Keith Hossack's philosophical work deserves to be appreciated much more widely than it is. This collection of essays by some of Hossack's colleagues and former students at the University of London should win for that work new readers and new admirers.
Keith Hossack's philosophical work has been distinguished by its originality, precision and insight. This volume is a fitting tribute. A panoply of notable contributors offer important responses to his ground-breaking analyses of knowledge, numbers and facts, and Hossack himself supplies an illuminating digest of his current position.
