RELEASE OF VOLUME 25, NUMBER 2
August 16, 2004
The Editors are delighted to announce GFPJ 25:2, Essays on the History of the Philosophy of Mathematics, appearing November 2004. Edited by Alexei Angelides, this special issue inaugurates a series of special issues dedicated to investigating the historical development of concepts and problems in the history of philosophy and their relevance to issues in contemporary philosophy. Each essay in 25:2 deals with the work of some of the canonical figures including Plato, Descartes, Newton, Vieta, Gödel, Wittgenstein among others through a historical perspective in an attempt to unearth resources by offering new interpretations of these texts and of the problems tackled by these thinkers. The essays not only integrate the historical context in which problems in the philosophy of mathematics have appeared, but also articulate the philosophical dimension of the history of mathematics. In his suggestive introduction, Angelides eloquently shows the relevance and importance of "synthesizing" history and philosophy as well as tracing the history of the philosophy of mathematics.
Look for our second installment in this series of special issues GFPJ 26:2, Matter and Materialism in Ancient, Medieval, and Early Modern Philosophy, appearing in November 2005, and our third installment which will appear in November 2006.
