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 />
