Note about the Bibliography

This bibliography lists works that are central to the topics discussed in this book. It is by no means a list of all the literature about them, but rather a selection of sources that I have relied on. So it cites the works mentioned in the “Notes and Further Readings” sections. But it omits online resources for finding these works and other websites that I recommended in the “Notes” sections. It also omits the canonical works by Bacon, Locke, Newton, Berkeley, Hume, Kant, Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, Carnap, and Eddington, which are quoted or mentioned in the main text.

Where multiple editions exist, I have cited the edition I used or one that is widely available. URLs and DOIs are provided in plain text and are current as of January 2026.
