Frank Plumpton Ramsey (1903-1930), Cambridge mathematician and philosopher, was one of the most brilliant people of his generation. Ramsay's highly original papers on the foundations of mathematics, probability, economics, philosophy of science, and the theory of knowledge were very influential in the 20th century and are still widely discussed in the 21st. This collection of eleven new papers, specially written to commemorate his centenary, covers nearly all the aspects of Ramsey's work. His logic, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, metaphysics, epistemology, pragmatism, economics, and the mutual influences between Ramsey and Wittgenstein are all examined. The book will be eagerly welcomed by those working in many branches of analytic philosophy and beyond.Frapolli, Maria J. is the author of 'F. P. Ramsey Critical Reassessments', published 2005 under ISBN 9780826476005 and ISBN 0826476007.
