{"product_id":"9781575865904","title":"Logic and Pragmatism: Selected Essays by Giovanni Vailati","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume collects some of the main writings of Giovanni Vailati, the early 20th century Italian philosopher and mathematician. This book is the first to make Vailati's work on pragmatism available in English translation. The volume includes, in addition to nineteen essays by Vailati, an introduction by Maria Caamaño and Patrick Suppes on the main traits of Vailati's pragmatism, and a more general introduction to the life and work of Vailati by Paola Cantù and Mauro De Zan, two of the foremost Italian authorities on Vailati.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vigorous Italian pragmatic movement, which began in the late 19th century and continued into the 20th century, acknowledged directly its indebtedness to American philosophy, particularly to James and Peirce. On the other hand, the central figures of this Italian movement, such as Vailati, had new and important insights of their own. Perhaps the most notable of these new insights was Vailati's strong emphasis on the importance of prediction as a criterion of pragmatic success.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Center for the Study of Language and Inf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054053310704,"sku":"9781575865904","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781575865904_p0.jpg?v=1763793912","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781575865904","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
