Nye bøker ved FoF:

Do electrons and genes exist?

If inclined to answer ‘yes’, let’s ask a harder question: do numbers exist?


This book argues that the answer should be, again, affirmative. It elaborates a philosophical position according to which all, and only, entities truly indispensable
to the formulation of modern scientific theories should be recognized as existent, regardless of how we might be initially tempted to categorize them – as concretephysical
or abstract-mathematical. In addition to explicating the subtleties of the positive reasons supporting this form of realism, the book clarifies and rebuts a variety
of objections raised against this position.


Sorin Bangu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy, University of Bergen, Norway.

His main interests and publications are in philosophy of science and mathematics, and the history of analytic philosophy (especially Wittgenstein and Quine).

Etter omorganiseringen ved Det Humanistiske fakultet ble Institutt for filosofi og førstesemesterstudier etablert den 1. august 2007. Dette var en sammenslåing mellom det tidligere Filosofisk institutt og Seksjon for førstesemesterstudier. Kontinuiteten fra Filosofisk institutt er sterk og instituttet feiret september 2009 sitt 50-års jubileum for å markere etableringen av moderinstituttet som skjedde den 1. juli 1959.
