Three Sisters : Philosophy, Mathematics and Logic Abstract We examine here the relations between mathematics, philosophy and logic. We start with an analysis of the motto at the entrance of Plato’s academy and the meaning of Plato’s dialectic, inspired but not limited to mathematics. We go on giving a brief overview of logic from Aristotle to Tarski including the rejection of syllogistic by Descartes and Pascal. We then discuss the many different and sometimes contradictory relations between these three sisters in modern times: mathematics used to develop an advanced theory of reasoning, logic used to have a better understanding of mathematics in a deep philosophical sense, logic used as a toy for philosophical argumentations. We end by a discussion about truth, a shared and disputed notion. _______________________________________________ Logica-l mailing list [email protected] http://www.dimap.ufrn.br/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/logica-l
