The realism/anti-realism debate is one of the traditional central
themes in the philosophy of mathematics. The controversies about
the existence of the irrational numbers, the complex numbers, the
infintesimals, etc. will be familiar to all who are acquainted with
the history of mathematics. This book aims mainly at presenting and
defending a non-Platonist form of mathematical structural realism
which, in the respect of the history of mathematics, harmonizes
with a plausible epistemology that naturally arises from it.
"Gianluigi Oliveri's book embodies a masterly survey of salient
questions in the philosophy of mathematics, and propounds a
challenging, if controversial, theory of the subject." Michael
Dummett
