Book Reviews of Philosophy of Mathematics: Selected Readings
Book Review: Good compilation if you have the background
Summary: 3 Stars
Don't try reading this book if you have little background with analytic philosophy, logic, and math. Although you're unlikely to be interested in it if you don't have that background. Some great works about the nature of mathematics are included here but make sure you have the background or it won't make sense.
Summary of Philosophy of Mathematics: Selected Readings
The twentieth century has witnessed an unprecedented 'crisis in the foundations of mathematics', featuring a world-famous paradox (Russell's Paradox), a challenge to 'classical' mathematics from a world-famous mathematician (the 'mathematical intuitionism' of Brouwer), a new foundational school (Hilbert's Formalism), and the profound incompleteness results of Kurt G?del. In the same period, the cross-fertilization of mathematics and philosophy resulted in a new sort of 'mathematical philosophy', associated most notably (but in different ways) with Bertrand Russell, W. V. Quine, and G?del himself, and which remains at the focus of Anglo-Saxon philosophical discussion. The present collection brings together in a convenient form the seminal articles in the philosophy of mathematics by these and other major thinkers. It is a substantially revised version of the edition first published in 1964 and includes a revised bibliography. The volume will be welcomed as a major work of reference at this level in the field.Philosophy Books
