Recenzii
John P. Burgess amd Gideon Rosen, A Subject with No Object: Strategies for Nominalistic Interpretation of Mathematics. ,,, works on Nominalism have come to dominate the philosophy of mathematics, so a work that organizes the material is useful. ... It is rare to find such a comprehensive, and fair, account of a position for which the authors (on their own account) have little sympathy. ... it contains, for a little book, an astonishing amount of information about philosophy and many other things, from Einstein to Latour.
An important book.
This book has many virtues. It is concentrated on fundamental questions in the philosophy of mathematics, which it explores with an open mind - or even two open minds; it is richly informed and informative in its clear exposition of the details of nominalistic reconstruction programs ... No attempt will be made here even to summarize the rich and extensive content of this part, except to say that a great service has been performed for both students and professionals interested in this subject. The formal essence of the programs is clearly laid out in each case, with just enough detail to give the reader a real sense of how the program in question works but not so much as to obscure the broader picture ... it should be clear that this book is of great value and interest and that, on the whole, it exemplifies philosophy practiced at its best.
A very informative and well-written book.
The book gives a concise and very valuable survey of this part of the present philosophy of mathematics that should be of interest not only for philosophers but also for the working mathematician.
The authors give a useful and instructive tour of the various formal approaches. B&R's book will hopefully spark a lively discussion, if not an intense debate, among the philosophers involved, favourably or not, in what is called a nominalistic approach to mathematics and its applications.
