Philosophers of mathematics

Frank Ramsey (mathematician)

Frank Plumpton Ramsey (/ˈræmzi/; 22 February 1903 – 19 January 1930) was a British philosopher, mathematician, and economist who made major contributions to all three fields before his death at the age of 26. He was a close friend of Ludwig Wittgenstein and, as an undergraduate, translated Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus into English. He was also influential in persuading Wittgenstein to return to philosophy and Cambridge. Like Wittgenstein, he was a member of the Cambridge Apostles, the secret intellectual society, from 1921.

Proof of Ramsey's theorem

Ramsey theory is based on Ramsey's theorem, because without it, there would be no Ramsey numbers, since they are not well-defined. This is part 2 of the trilogy of the Ramsey numbers. Useful link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramsey%27s_theorem#2-colour_case Other than commenting on the

John M. Keynes and Treatise on Probability - Prof. Simon Blackburn

Abstract To introduce Keynes’s Treatise on Probability in a short time I shall emphasize its remarkable scholarship; its debt to Russell’s logicism; and its pervasive scepticism about the possibility of applying mathematics to its subject. I then briefly consider the departure from logici
