The nature of truth in mathematics is a problem which has exercised the minds of thinkers from at least the time of the ancient Greeks. The great advances in mathematics and philosophy in the twentieth century--and in particular the proof of Gödel's theorem and the development of the notion of independence in mathematics--have led to new viewpoints on his question. This book is the result of the interaction of a number of outstanding mathematicians and philosophers--including Yurii Manin, Vaughan Jones, and Per Martin-Löf--and their discussions of this problem. It provides an overview of the forefront of current thinking, and is a valuable introduction and reference for researchers in the area.
