An Introduction

Philosophy of Mathematics: An Introduction provides a
critical analysis of the major philosophical issues and viewpoints
in the concepts and methods of mathematics - from antiquity to the
modern era.



  • Offers beginning readers a critical appraisal of philosophical
    viewpoints throughout history



  • Gives a separate chapter to predicativism, which is often (but
    wrongly) treated as if it were a part of logicism



  • Provides readers with a non-partisan discussion until the
    final chapter, which gives the author?s personal opinion on
    where the truth lies



  • Designed to be accessible to both undergraduates and graduate
    students, and at the same time to be of interest to
    professionals
