About

My background is in mathematics, where my Ph.D. focused on algebraic geometry and error-correcting codes, but I enjoy reading primary sources in philosophy. Some of my favorite works to date are the following:

  • "The Myth of Sisyphus" by Camus,
  • "Fear and Trembling" by Kierkegaard,
  • "The Prince" by Machiavelli.

Other works that I also enjoyed very much are:

  • "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" by Wollstonecraft,
  • "Discourse on Method" and "Meditations" by Descartes,
  • "Theaetetus" by Plato.

When proving a conclusion of the form P v Q, we only have to prove a single disjunct. Is that a slight abuse of syntax and exactness required of proof
