Introduction to the philosophy of mathematics
Abstract
What kind of objects does mathematics investigate, and in what sense do these objects exist? Why are we justified in considering mathematical statements as part of our knowledge, and how can they be validated?A philosophy of mathematics seeks to answer such questions. [...] In this introduction, we present the major positions in the philosophy of mathematics and formulate their core ideas into clear, accessible theses. Readers will learn which philosophers developed each position and the historical context in which they emerged. Drawing on fundamental intuitions and scientific findings, one can argue for or against these theses – such arguments form the second focus of this book. (Dal sito dell'editore)
