Iconicity and Abduction
•
Analyzes the role of iconic signs in scientific
hypothesis-formation
•
Uses category theory to explore the connection
between iconicity and abduction
•
Provides an explanatory framework for model-
based reasoning in science
•
Integrates formal diagrammatic and
mathematical methods in Peirce and Badiou
Diagrammatic Immanence.
Category Theory and Philosophy
A renewal of immanent metaphysics through
diagrammatic methods and the tools of category
theory.
Spinoza, Peirce and Deleuze are, in different ways,
philosophers of immanence. Rocco Gangle addresses
the methodological questions raised by a commitment
to immanence in terms of how diagrams may be used
both as tools and as objects of philosophical
investigation. He integrates insights from Spinozist
metaphysics, Peircean semiotics and Deleuze’s
philosophy of difference in conjunction with the formal
operations of category theory.
World and Logic
What is the relationship between the world and logic,
between intuition and language, between objects and
their quantitative determinations? Rationalists, on the
one hand, hold that the world is structured in a rational
way. Representationalists, on the other hand, assume
that language, logic, and mathematics are only the
means to order and describe the intuitively given world.
In World and Logic, Jens Lemanski takes up three
surprising arguments from Arthur Schopenhauer's
hitherto undiscovered Berlin Lectures, which concern
the philosophy of language, logic, and mathematics.
Based on these arguments, Lemanski develops a new
position entitled 'rational representationalism': the
world is always structured by human beings according
to linguistic, logical, and mathematical principles, but
the basic vocabulary of these structural descriptions
already contains metaphors taken from the world
around us.

Language, Logic, and Mathematics in
Schopenhauer
•
Presents a fresh examination of the logical and
mathematical significance of Schopenhauer’s
work for the first time in a century
•
Highlights the common thread that runs between
language, logic, and mathematics, demonstrating
how they influence each other and address
similar problems
•
Cultivates a new understanding of
Schopenhauer’s legacy by presenting a detailed
analysis of his lectures on language, logic, and
mathematics in English for the first time.

Historia Logicae and its
Modern Interpretation
This book marks the inauguration of the Historia
Logicae book series, which seeks to publish high-quality
monographs, dissertations, textbooks, proceedings,
and anthologies on the history of logic in either German
or English. Serving as the inaugural volume in this
series, the book explores the contemporary
interpretation of logic across many centuries and
cultures. The first section of the volume comprises a
compilation of papers dedicated to ancient and
medieval logic, examining prominent thinkers such as
Plato, Aristotle, Seneca, Porphyry, Proclus, Boethius,
Buridan, and Kilwardby. The second section shifts focus
towards early-modern and contemporary logics,
including the works of Caramuel, Kant, Drobisch,
Husserl, and Jakowski.

Styles of Discourse
This issue focusе on the diversity of styles of discourse
across a wide range of topics, including exposition,
debate, narrative analysis, philosophical essay and
history, mathematical proof, logical argumentation,
historical text, myth, metaphor, literature, art,
architectural styles, and others. The study is not be
restricted only to the humanities and the arts. Thomas
Kuhn’s concept of “paradigm” as a variation of the
concept of style of thought functions as a group style, a
shared (by a community) style of understanding and
thinking about what is considered to happen in nature.
Styles of scientific thinking, and other relevant
concepts, have social and cultural determinations
and serve as media of communication among scientists
who share a particular worldview. A transition from one
style of thinking to another marks a radical change..

Interdisciplinary Bayesian Statistics: EBEB
2014 (Springer Proceedings in
Mathematics & Statistics Book
118)
The volume focuses on the foundations of the Bayesian
paradigm; their comparison to objectivistic or
frequentist Statistics counterparts; and the appropriate
application of Bayesian foundations. This research in
Bayesian Statistics is applicable to data analysis in
biostatistics, clinical trials, law, engineering, and the
social sciences.
