This Undergraduate Textbook introduces key methods and examines the major areas of
philosophy in which formal methods play pivotal roles. Coverage begins with a thorough
introduction to formalization and to the advantages and pitfalls of formal methods
in philosophy. The ensuing chapters show how to use formal methods in a wide range
of areas. Throughout, the contributors clarify the relationships and interdependencies
between formal and informal notions and constructions. Their main focus is to show
how formal treatments of philosophical problems may help us understand them better.
Formal methods can be used to solve problems but also to express new philosophical
problems that would never have seen the light of day without the expressive power
of the formal apparatus. Formal philosophy merges work in different areas of philosophy
as well as logic, mathematics, computer science, linguistics, physics, psychology,
biology, economics, political theory, and sociology. This title offers an accessible
introduction to this new interdisciplinary research area to a wide academic audience
