L'opera intende rispondere a quattro interrogativi fondamentali: "che cosa è la filosofia della religione", "che cosa è la religione", "qual è il rapporto tra sapere e fede", "qual è il linguaggio in cui si esprime l'uomo religioso".

The abstract structure of inquiry - the process of acquiring and changing beliefs about the world - is the focus of this book which takes the position that the "pragmatic" rather than the "linguistic" approach better solves the philosophical problems about the nature of mental representation, and better accounts for the phenomena of thought and speech. It discusses propositions and propositional attitudes (the cluster of activities that constitute inquiry) in general and takes up the way beliefs change in response to potential new information, suggesting that conditional propositions should be understood as projections of epistemic policies onto the world.

Perché siamo liberi? Come possiamo razionalmente usare della nostra libertà? Che peso hanno tradizioni e stili di vita? Cosa vuol dire "decidere"? Contano di più gli individui o i gruppi? C'è qualcosa come un'utilità collettiva? E qual è il "sommo bene dei cittadini" che uno stato efficiente dovrebbe perseguire? Rispondono cinque grandi della filosofia della scienza e della società: Raymond Boudon, Norberto Bobbio, Karl Popper, Gerald Radnitzky, John Wittkins e due Nobel per l'economia, James Buchanan e John Harsanyi.

This text is designed to help students overcome their hesitancy in the face of computing by leading them through simple mathematics, including set-theory and two forms of logic (propositional logic and traditional syllogistics), to basic questions of natural-language parsing. After introduction of basic notions on propositions and the nature of logic, the earlier parts center on sets and operations on sets. A discussion on quantifiers forms the bridge to considerations of mathematical logic, whence the discussion moves to Aristotelian syllogistics with its formal proofs and specific form of demonstration. In the last part of the book, the student is encouraged to follow the logical structure of a simple syntactic parser. This is used, then, as a foundation for presentation of some elements of a semantic parser, which approaches the analysis of sentences from the viewpoint of traditional category theory. Throughout the book, the more difficult questions of mathematics and philosophy of logic are illustrated with the use of simple BASIC routines, plus some illustrations in PROLOG, a fifth-generation computing language. This text is recommended for mathematics classes, where the use of the computer will support traditional methods; and for philosophy courses, where digitalized logic can help illustrate the evolution of formal methods; for logic courses that can benefit from ample exercises in several computer languages; and for linguistic sectors that involve parsing and questions of natural language representation in formal languages. Suitable as textbook for courses in Logic (undergraduate level), Introduction to Computer Programming, Symbolic Logic. Of interest to: Philosophers, computer scientists, linguists, logicians, mathematicians.
