The Utility of Mathematics
I&#x27;m not knowledgeable enough about their works to say anything interesting, but on the philosophy side of this there were a lot of developments in the 20th century, notably the logical positivists (e.g. Carnap) and later Quine.<p>Quine disagrees with the logical positivists in a way that I find a little tricky to pin down, despite his and their writing being much clearer than &quot;continental&quot; philosophers, but I have found everything I&#x27;ve read from either camp very thought provoking.
