Is mathematics a highly sophisticated intellectual game in which
the adepts display their skill by tackling invented problems, or
are mathematicians engaged in acts of discovery as they explore an
independent realm of mathematical reality? Why does this seemingly
abstract discipline provide the key to unlocking the deep secrets
of the physical universe? How one answers these questions will
significantly influence metaphysical thinking about reality.
This book is intended to fill a gap between popular 'wonders of
mathematics' books and the technical writings of the philosophers
of mathematics. The chapters are written by some of the world's
finest mathematicians, mathematical physicists and philosophers of
mathematics, each giving their perspective on this fascinating
debate. Every chapter is followed by a short response from another
member of the author team, reinforcing the main theme and raising
further questions.
Accessible to anyone interested in what mathematics really means,
and useful for mathematicians and philosophers of science at all
levels, Meaning in Mathematics offers deep new insights into a
subject many people take for granted.
