In a number of areas, Weir has elaborated strikingly original views which involve a radical departure from the mainstream. These include formalism in the philosophy of mathematics, and as well as naïve set theory, with a universal set, and a naïve theory of truth. In contrast to other contemporary defenders of the latter two theories, Weir rejects dialetheism and accepts classical rules for the logical connectives. He avoids contradictions by restricting certain structural inference rules, specifically some generalized versions of transitivity. In addition, Weir has developed radical versions of naturalism and physicalism (partly informed by his work on Quine) and perceptual realism. This collection includes contributions by a distinguished group of philosophers on Weir’s philosophy, as well as a memoir and a new essay on the philosophy of mathematics by Weir himself. 0aSciencexPhilosophy.963307 0aMathematical logic.96619514aPhilosophy of Science.96856024aMathematical Logic and Foundations.9661981 aRieger, Adam.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9778041 aLeuenberger, Stephan.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9778052 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303154556608iPrinted edition:z978303154558008iPrinted edition:z9783031545597 0aSynthese Library, Studies in Epistemology, Logic, Methodology, and Philosophy of Science,x2542-8292 ;v48497235040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-54557-3  aZDB-2-REP  aZDB-2-SXPR  c60277d60277
