This volume of essays tackles the main problem that arises when
considering an epistemology for mathematics, the nature and sources
of mathematical justification. Focusing both on particular and
general issues, the essays from leading philosophers of mathematics
raise important issues for our current understanding of
mathematics. Is mathematical justification "a priori" or "a
posteriori"? What role, if any, does logic play in mathematical
reasoning or inference? And how epistemologically important is the
formalizability of proof? The companion volume "Proof, Knowledge
and Formalization" is also available from Routledge. Contributors
include Michael Detlefsen, Michael D. Resnik, Stewart Shapiro, Mark
Steiner, Pirmin Stekeler-Weithofer, Shelley Stillwell, William J.
Tait and Steven J. Wagner. This book should be of interest to
advanced students and lecturers of philosophy of logic and maths.
