Kant's views about mathematics were controversial in his own time,
and they have inspired or infuriated thinkers ever since. Though
specific Kantian doctrines fell into disrepute earlier in this
century, the past twenty-five years have seen a surge of interest
in and respect for Kant's philosophy of mathematics among both Kant
scholars and philosophers of mathematics. The present volume
includes the classic papers from the 1960s and 1970s which spared
this renaissance of interest, together with updated postscripts by
their authors. It also includes the most important recent work on
Kant's philosophy of mathematics. The essays bring to bear a wealth
of detailed Kantian scholarship, together with powerful new
interpretative tools drawn from modern mathematics, logic and
philosophy. The cumulative effect of this collection upon the
reader will be a deeper understanding of the centrality of
mathematics in all aspects of Kant's thought and a renewed respect
for the power of Kant's thinking about mathematics. The essays
contained in this volume will set the agenda for further work on
Kant's philosophy of mathematics for some time to come.
