{"product_id":"definitions-and-mathematical-knowledge-andrea-sereni-9781009095990","title":"Definitions and Mathematical Knowledge","description":"This Element discusses the philosophical roles of definitions in the attainment of mathematical knowledge. It first focuses on the role of definitions in foundational programs, and then examines their major varieties, both as regards their origins, their potential epistemic roles, and their formal constraints. It examines explicit definitions, implicit definitions, and implicit definitions of primitive terms, these latter being further divided into axiomatic and abstractive. After discussing elucidations and explications, various ways in which definitions can yield mathematical knowledge are surveyed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Sereni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009095994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009095990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.22d","brand":"Andrea Sereni","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46640532685055,"sku":"9781009095990","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_adafa512-872b-4aa8-885c-7e39b21acf5e.jpg?v=1740669900","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/definitions-and-mathematical-knowledge-andrea-sereni-9781009095990","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
