Bayesians Versus Frequentists: A Philosophical Debate on Statistical Reasoning
Original price was: ₹7,596.00.₹6,078.00Current price is: ₹6,078.00.
This book analyzes the origins of statistical thinking as well as its related philosophical questions, such as causality, determinism or chance. Bayesian and frequentist approaches are subjected to a historical, cognitive and epistemological analysis, making it possible to not only compare the two competing theories, but to also find a potential solution.

Kurt Gödel: The Genius of Metamathematics
Original price was: ₹5,512.00.₹4,410.00Current price is: ₹4,410.00.
During his lifetime, Kurt Gödel was not well known outside the professional world of mathematicians, philosophers and theoretical physicists. Early in his career, for his doctoral thesis and then for his Habilitation (Dr.Sci.), he wrote earthshaking articles on the completeness and provability of mathematical-logical systems, upsetting the hypotheses of the most famous mathematicians/philosophers of the time.

Louis Couturat: The History of Modern Symbolic Logic and Other French Manuscripts
Original price was: ₹12,809.00.₹10,248.00Current price is: ₹10,248.00.
This volume features a critical edition of the recently rediscovered manuscripts written by the French philosopher Louis Couturat (1868-1914).
It includes the transcriptions of three of his believed to be lost manuscripts: first the “Cours de Caen: 1898-99” on various systems of symbolic logic, second his lecture at the Collège de France “Histoire de la logique formelle moderne', and third his textbook on mathematical logic. The manuscripts document the early reception of mathematical logic in France and provide insights into the first introduction of the French reader to the work of Gottlob Frege and Bertrand Russell.
It is the aim of the editors of this volume to contribute to the history of symbolic logic, particularly the history of its dissemination and its teaching in France. At the same time, the volume contributes to an alternative history and conception of philosophy in which semiotics and concrete mathematical practice stand in focus.
The book is interesting for students and researchers in the history of philosophy, mathematics, and logic.
