Abstract. In his book Steeds mooier (Amsterdam 1994), Maarten Doorman put forward three so-called quantitative arguments for the thesis that there is progress in art. We present a formal analysis of these arguments according to which they are valid, but utterly trivial.
Abstract. This article is a critical but favourable review of Jean Paul Van Bendegem, Tot in der eindigheid, Antwerp 1997, 285 pages. Van Bendegem shows that all traditional arguments for the existence of God (as based on logic, mathematics, physics and biology) are invalid. From this he concludes that religions are to be regarded as pseudosciences. As an alternative, he presents a world view which is inspired by his own favourite approach in the philosophy of mathematics, namely strict finitism. The title of the book (in English: Ad finitum) alludes both to the latter conception and to the closing phrase of some Dutch versions of the Lord's Prayer.
Note. On account of this thesis, the author received the Biennial Prize of the Internationale School voor Wijsbegeerte (Leusden) for the best Dutch or Flemish philosophical Master's Thesis written in 1985-1986.
