'Mathematics, Science, and Postclassical Theory' is a unique collection of essays dealing with the intersections between science and mathematics and the radical reconceptions of knowledge, language, proof, truth, and reality currently emerging from poststructuralist literary theory, constructive history and sociology of science, and related work in contemporary philosophy.
