ISBN10: 019875244X, ISBN13: 9780198752448, [publisher: Oxford University Press, Oxford] Hardcover Hardcover. The nineteenth century saw a movement to make higher mathematics rigorous.This seemed to be on the brink of success when it was thrown into confusionby the discovery of the class paradoxes. That initiated a period of intenseresearch into the foundations of mathematics, and with it the birth ofmathematical logic and a new, sharper debate in the philosophy ofmathematics. The Search forCertainty examines this foundational endeavour from thediscovery of the paradoxes to the present. Focusing on Russell's logicistprogramme and Hilbert's finitist programme, Giaquinto investigateshowsuccessful they were and how successful they could be. These questions areset in the context of a clear, non-technical exposition and assessment ofthe most important discoveries in mathematical logic, above all Goedel'sunderivability theorems.More than six decades after those discoveries, Giaquinto asks what ourpresent perspective should be on the question of certainty in mathematics.Taking recent developmentsinto account, he gives reasons for asurprisingly positive response. Marcus Giaquinto tells the story of one of the great intellectual adventures of the modern era -- the attempt to find firm foundations for mathematics. From the late nineteenth century to the present day, this project has stimulated some of the most original and influential work in logic and philosophy. ...
