Mantık ve Bilim Teorisi Üzerine
“Tepeden tırnağa patlayıcı yüklü bir matematik felsefecisi; aklı başında ama gözü pek, iyimser olmayan kararlı biri. Eğer bu bir kahraman değilse, o zaman kahraman kimdir?”
– Georges Canguilhem.

Matematikte olduğu gibi, deneyim de belli bir “ritme” göre, kurallara bağlı olarak mümkündür. Fransa’nın işgaline, “mantığın bir getirisi olarak” direnişle cevap veren Cavaillès 1944 yılında Naziler tarafından kurşuna dizilir. Mantık ve Bilim Teorisi Üzerine 20. yüzyıl akılcı Fransız felsefesi geleneğinin öncülerinden Cavaillès’in son eseridir.

Mathematics is to Cavaillès what oil is to Negarestani, I will not be elaborating on this point here. Big shouts to Sequence Press for mailing the advanced copy

Snap er geen jota van maar enorm boeiend, mocht ik oprecht geïnteresseerd zijn in Franse neokantiaanse epistemologen uit het midden van de 20ste eeuw, zou ik het meteen opnieuw lezen :))

short enough to read within a single delirium, dense enough to read every page over & over & over. perfect for light conversation with family around the holidays, perfect for crazy math people.

"If transcendental logic truly grounds logic then there is no absolute logic (...) If there is an absolute logic it can draw its authority only from itself; it is not transcendental."
