That's quite interesting. Do you have any examples?
- kmill 6y agoI'd thought math was the part of philosophy dealing with ideas that are precise enough to say things with certainty. (No matter how well-qualified and vanishingly relevant those ideas might be ;-) )
- atoav 6y agoWhen I studied philosophy she had a logic seminar. There is a big field of philosophy where logic (also in the mathematical sense) plays a huge role, and there are works in math that have philosophical implications (Gödel's work for example).
