#hardcover#math#mathematics#numbertheory#philosophy 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 Gödel. 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 Gödel 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. The volume will be welcomed as a major work of reference at this level in the field. This book is in good condition with no wear to the spine or binding. Pages are clean and unmarked with a few dog ears, starting to yellow slightly around the edges. Dust jacket is scuffed on the front, with some wear and tear around the edges. Covers are in very good shape. Printed in 1964, 535 pp.
