This collection of papers has its origin in a conference held at
the Uni- versity of Toronto in June of 1988. The theme of the
conference was Physicalism in Mathematics: Recent Work in the
Philosophy of Math- ematics. At the conference, papers were read by
Geoffrey Hellman (Minnesota), Yvon Gauthier (Montreal), Michael
Hallett (McGill), Hartry Field (USC), Bob Hale (Lancaster & St
Andrew's), Alasdair Urquhart (Toronto) and Penelope Maddy (Irvine).
This volume supplements updated versions of six of those papers
with contributions by Jim Brown (Toronto), John Bigelow (La Trobe),
John Burgess (Princeton), Chandler Davis (Toronto), David Papineau
(Cambridge), Michael Resnik (North Carolina at Chapel Hill), Peter
Simons (Salzburg) and Crispin Wright (St Andrews & Michigan).
Together they provide a vivid, expansive snapshot of the exciting
work which is currently being carried out in philosophy of
mathematics. Generous financial support for the original conference
was provided by the Social Sciences & Humanities Research
Council of Canada, the British Council, and the Department of
Philosophy together with the Office of Internal Relations at the
University of Toronto. Additional support for the production of
this volume was gratefully received from the Social Sciences &
Humanities Research Council of Canada.
