This distinctive anthology includes many of the most important
recent contributions to the philosophy of mathematics. The featured
papers are organized thematically, rather than chronologically, to
provide the best overview of philosophical issues connected with
mathematics and the development of mathematical knowledge. Coverage
ranges from general topics in mathematical explanation and the
concept of number, to specialized investigations of the ontology of
mathematical entities and the nature of mathematical truth, models
and methods of mathematical proof, intuitionistic mathematics, and
philosophical foundations of set theory.
This volume explores the central problems and exposes intriguing
new directions in the philosophy of mathematics, making it an
essential teaching resource, reference work, and research
guide.
The book complements "Philosophy of Logic: An Anthology" and "A
Companion to Philosophical Logic, "also edited by Dale Jacquette
(Blackwell 2001).
