Philosophy of Mathematics and Mathematical Practice in the Seventeenth Century
Oxford University Press 1996; US$ 59.99The 17th century saw a dramatic development in mathematical theory and practice. This is an account of the foundational issues raised in the relationship between mathematical advances of the period and the philosophy of mathematics. more...
Platonism and Anti-Platonism in Mathematics
Oxford University Press 1998; US$ 44.99A demonstration of the value of both platonism and anti-platonism in the solution of mathematical problems. The author solves the important problems associated with both of the views, and demonstrates that it is inherently impossible for us to have a valid argument for or against mathematical platonism. more...
Mathematical Thought and Its Objects
Cambridge University Press 2007; US$ 37.00In Mathematical Thought and Its Objects, Charles Parsons examines the notion of object. more...
Mathematical Knowledge
Oxford University Press, UK 2007; US$ 74.99What is the nature of mathematical knowledge? Is it anything like scientific knowledge or is it sui generis? How do we acquire it? Should we believe what mathematicians themselves tell us about it? Are mathematical concepts innate or acquired? Eight new essays offer answers to these and many other questions. - ;What is the nature of mathematical knowledge?... more...
New Essays on Tarski and Philosophy
Oxford University Press, UK 2008; US$ 119.99This volume shows the way to a proper understanding of the philosophical legacy of the great logician, mathematician, and philosopher Alfred Tarski (1902-1983). An international group of scholars examine the historical context of Tarski's work, his philosophical development, and his influence on philosophy of language and logic. - ;Tarski and Philosophy... more...
Logicism, Intuitionism, and Formalism
Springer 2008; US$ 299.99Aims to review the programmes in the foundations of mathematics from the classical period and to assess their possible relevance for contemporary philosophy of mathematics. This work is suitable for researchers and graduate students of philosophy, logic, mathematics and theoretical computer science. more...
From Kant to Hilbert, 2
Oxford University Press, UK 2005; US$ 98.99This two-volume work brings together a comprehensive selection of mathematical works from the period 1707-1930. During this time the foundations of modern mathematics were laid, and From Kant to Hilbert provides an overview of the foundational work in each of the main branches of mathmeatics with narratives showing how they were linked. Now available... more...

A Structural Account of Mathematics
Oxford University Press, UK 2007; US$ 45.00Charles Chihara presents a structural view of the nature of mathematics, and uses it to explain a number of striking features of mathematics that have puzzled philosophers for centuries. In particular, this perspective allows Chihara to show that, in order to understand how mathematical systems are applied in science, it is not necessary to assume... more...
Wittgenstein, Finitism, and the Foundations of Mathematics
OUP Oxford 2008; US$ 40.00Mathieu Marion traces the development of Wittgenstein's thinking from the 1920s through to the 1950s, in the context of the mathematical and philosophical work of the time, making sense of ideas that have often been misunderstood. He shows that study of Wittgenstein's writings on mathematics is essential to a proper understanding of his philosophy.... more...
