This Festschrift volume contains a series of specially commissioned papers by leading philosophers on themes from the philosophy of Crispin Wright and a previously unpublished paper by George Boolos, together with a substantial set of replies by Wright. Section I consists of five essays on Wright’s Neo-Fregean approach in the philosophy of mathematics, Section II consists of two essays on Wright’s work on vagueness, intuitionism and the Sorites Paradox, Section III contains two essays on logical revisionism, and Section IV consists of a single essay on the epistemology of metaphysical possibility. The volume also contains a full bibliography of Wright’s philosophical publications.

This chapter is divided into four parts, corresponding to the partitioning of the essays in the volume. Part I, on neo-Fregeanism in the philosophy of mathematics develops replies to Demopolous, Heck, Rosen and Yablo, Boolos and Edwards; Part II, on vagueness, intuitionistic logic and the Sorites Paradox develops replies to Rumfitt and Schiffer; Part III, on revisionism in the philosophy of logic develops replies to Shieh and Tennant; and Part IV, on the epistemology of metaphysical possibility develops a reply to Hale. In each section, Crispin Wright offers an overview of the relevant area and outlines and refines his views on the relevant topics. Inter alia, he offers detailed replies to each of the ten contributed essays in the volume.

Moderating Role

Aims: This study sought to explore the moderating role of gender in the relationship between creative thinking and academic performance in English Language and Mathematics among Junior High School students in the Aboom Circuit, Cape Coast. Study Design: The design for the study is correlational espousing the quantitative approach. The study was guided by two research hypotheses, which were tested using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation and Andrew F. Hayes Moderation Process. The instruments for the data collection were Kumar, Kemmler and Holman (1997) Creativity Styles Questionnaire-Revised (CSQ-R) and standardised-type test developed by experts in the various subject areas. Results: The study revealed significant relationship between creative thinking and academic performance of students (English Language: r=.432, n=140, p=0.05, p=.003, 2-tailed; Mathematics: r=.401, n=140 p=0.05, p=0.000, 2-talied). The study further revealed that gender moderated significantly in the relationship between creativity and academic performance (English Language: b=-.276, t=-2.398, CI= -.485, -.088; Mathematics: b=-.300, t=-2.198, CI= -.564, -.070). As such, male respondents had higher creative thinking effect in English Language and Mathematics than female respondents (b=.371, t=4.608, CI [.212, .530; b=.219, t=2.286, CI [.030, .407]). Conclusion: Creative thinking indeed relates to performance, as such, it was recommended that creative thinking should be nurtured among all students in J.H.S. In addition, stakeholders in education should consider including creative thinking in the curriculum and pay special attention to nurturing creative think in female students so that they could match up with their male counterparts.

The Relationship

Philosophy of mathematics does not add a number of new mathematical theorems or theories, so a philosophy of mathematics is not mathematics. The philosophy of mathematics is an area of reflection about mathematics. After studying for a long time, one needs to reflect on learning outcomes by reflecting on the philosophy of mathematics. Mathematics and philosophy are closely related, compared to other sciences. The reason is that philosophy is the base for studying science and mathematics is the mother of all sciences. There are also those who think that philosophy and mathematics are the mother of all existing knowledge. From a historical perspective, the relationship between philosophy and mathematics underwent a very striking development. This article discusses the development of mathematics in philosophy and the flow of formalism contained in the philosophy of mathematics in particular
