The central theme of these essays is the nature and role of
mathematics, its growth and spread, and its involvement with
ever-wider areas of knowledge. The author attempts to determine the
decisive and creative aspects of the abstractness" of mathematics
which have made it the dominant intellectual force that it is. He
frequently confronts the mathematics and physics of today with the
mathematics and physics of the Greeks, which, however renowned, was
not yet capable of this abstractness. Originally published in 1966.
