Hellman here presents a detailed interpretation of mathematics as
the investigation of "structural possibilities," as opposed to
absolute, Platonic objects. After treating the natural numbers and
analysis, he extends the approach to set theory, where he
demonstrates how to dispense with a fixed universe of sets.
Finally, he addresses problems of application to the physical
world.
