Categories for the Working Philosopher by Elaine Landry Paperback Book

Description: Categories for the Working Philosopher by Elaine Landry Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This is the first volume on category theory for a broad philosophical readership. It is designed to show the interest and significance of category theory for a range of philosophical interests: mathematics, proof theory, computation, cognition, scientific modelling, physics, ontology, the structure of the world. Publisher Description Often people have wondered why there is no introductory text on category theory aimed at philosophers working in related areas. The answer is simple: what makes categories interesting and significant is their specific use for specific purposes. These uses and purposes, however, vary over many areas, both "pure", e.g., mathematical, foundational and logical, and "applied", e.g., applied to physics, biology and the nature and structure of mathematicalmodels.Borrowing from the title of Saunders Mac Lanes seminal work "Categories for the Working Mathematician", this book aims to bring the concepts of category theory to philosophers working inareas ranging from mathematics to proof theory to computer science to ontology, from to physics to biology to cognition, from mathematical modeling to the structure of scientific theories to the structure of the world.Moreover, it aims to do this in a way that is accessible to non-specialists. Each chapter is written by either a category-theorist or a philosopher working in one of the represented areas, and in a way that builds on the concepts that are already familiar tophilosophers working in these areas. Author Biography Elaine Landry is professor of philosophy at the University of California, Davis. Her research spans three broad areas within Philosophy of Science: history and philosophy of mathematics, history and philosophy of science, and Platos philosophy of mathematics. She is one of few philosophers who works on building bridges between all of these areas of research.
