The logic of modern symbolic mathematics<br />

A systematic view of God as Creator<br />

Burt C. Hopkins presents the first in-depth study of the work of<br />

Edmund Husserl and Jacob Klein on the philosophical foundations<br />

of the logic of modern symbolic mathematics. Accounts of<br />

the philosophical origins of formalized concepts—especially<br />

mathematical concepts and the process of mathematical abstraction<br />

that generates them—have been paramount to the development of<br />

phenomenology. Both Husserl and Klein independently concluded<br />

that it is impossible to separate the historical origin of the thought<br />

that generates the basic concepts of mathematics from their<br />

philosophical meanings. Hopkins explores how Husserl and Klein<br />

arrived at their conclusion and its philosophical implications for the<br />

modern project of formalizing all knowledge.<br />

Burt C. Hopkins is Professor of Philosophy at Seattle <strong>University</strong>. He is author<br />

of Intentionality in Husserl and Heidegger and The Philosophy of Husserl. He is<br />

founding editor (with Steven G. Crowell) of The New Yearbook for Phenomenology<br />

and Phenomenological Philosophy and is permanent secretary of the Husserl Circle.<br />

Creation and the Sovereignty of God brings fresh insight to<br />

a defense of God. Traditional theistic belief declared a perfect<br />

being who creates and sustains everything and who exercises<br />

sovereignty over all. Lately, this idea has been contested, but<br />

Hugh J. McCann maintains that God creates the best possible<br />

universe and is completely free to do so; that God is responsible<br />

for human actions, yet humans also have free will; and ultimately,<br />

that divine command must be reconciled with natural law. With<br />

this distinctive approach to understanding God and the universe,<br />

McCann brings new perspective to the evidential argument of evil.<br />

Hugh J. McCann is Professor of Philosophy at Texas A&M <strong>University</strong>.<br />

He is author of The Works of Agency: On Human Action, Will, and Freedom.<br />

“Offers an elaborate, rigorous development and defense of the<br />

medieval Christian view that God as creator is sovereign, free, and<br />

simple.” —Paul K. Moser, Loyola <strong>University</strong> Chicago<br />

“A striking, original study . . . for the history of mathematics, our<br />

understanding of Husserlian phenomenology, and the concepts of<br />

formality and formalization.” —Robert B. Pippin, <strong>University</strong> of Chicago<br />
