The twentieth century has witnessed an unprecedented crisis in the foundations of mathematics featuring a worldfamous paradox Russells Paradox a challenge to classical mathematics from a worldfamous mathematician the mathematical intuitionism of Brouwer a new foundational school Hilberts Formalism and the profound incompleteness results of Kurt Gödel In the same period the crossfertilization 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 AngloSaxon 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

Do numbers sets and so forth exist What do mathematical statements mean Are they literally true or false or do they lack truth values altogether Addressing questions that have attracted lively debate in recent years Stewart Shapiro contends that standard realist and antirealist accounts of mathematics are both problematic As Benacerraf first noted we are confronted with the following powerful dilemma The desired continuity between mathematical and say scientific language suggests realism but realism in this context suggests seemingly intractable epistemic problems As a way out of this dilemma Shapiro articulates a structuralist approach On this view the subject matter of arithmetic for example is not a fixed domain of numbers independent of each other but rather is the natural number structure the pattern common to any system of objects that has an initial object and successor relation satisfying the induction principle Using this framework realism in mathematics can be preserved without troublesome epistemic consequences Shapiro concludes by showing how a structuralist approach can be applied to wider philosophical questions such as the nature of an object and the Quinean nature of ontological commitment Clear compelling and tautly argued Shapiros work noteworthy both in its attempt to develop a fulllength structuralist approach to mathematics and to trace its emergence in the history of mathematics will be of deep interest to both philosophers and mathematicians

The seventeenth century saw dramatic advances in mathematical theory and practice than any era before or since With the recovery of many of the classical Greek mathematical texts new techniques were introduced and within 100 years analytic geometry the geometry of indivisibles the arithmetic of infinites and the calculus had been developed Although many technical studies have been devoted to these innovations Paolo Mancosu provides the first comprehensive account of the relationship between mathematical advances of the seventeenth century and the philosophy of mathematics of the period Beginning with the Renaissance debates on the certainty of mathematics Mancosu leads the reader through the foundational issues raised by the emergence of these new mathematical techniques including the influence of the Aristotelian conception of science in Cavalieri and Guldin the foundational relevance of Descartes Geometrie the relationship between empiricist epistemology and infinitistic theorems in geometry and the debates concerning the foundations of the Leibnizian calculus In the process Mancosu draws a sophisticated picture of the subtle dependencies between technical development and philosophical reflection in seventeenth century mathematics

Although many agree that all teaching rests on a theory of knowledge there has been no indepth exploration of the implications of the philosophy of mathematics for education This is Paul Ernests aim Building on the work of Lakatos and Wittgenstein it challenges the prevalent notion that mathematical knowledge is certain absolute and neutral and offers instead an account of mathematics as a social construction This has profound educational implications for social issues including gender race and multiculturalism for pedagogy including investigations and problem solving and challenges hierarchical views of mathematics learning and ability Beyond this the book offers a wellgrounded model of five educational ideologies each with its own epistemology values aims and social group of adherents An analysis of the impact of these groups on the National Curriculum results in a powerful critique revealing the questionable assumptions values and interests upon which it rests The book finishes on an optimistic note arguing that pedagogy left unspecified by the National Curriculum is the way to achieve the radical aims of educating confident problem posers and solvers who are able to critically evaluate the social uses of mathematics
