Research summary
AI-generated

Stewart Shapiro works in the philosophy of mathematics and logic, examining questions such as what numbers and other mathematical objects really are, how mathematical concepts like continuity are defined, and the foundations of second-order logic. His work is largely conceptual and historical, often engaging with the ideas of philosophers and mathematicians such as Frege, Aristotle, and Waismann. Prospective students would be working in philosophy rather than empirical psychology, despite the broad-area label.
