The Architecture of Modern Mathematics: Essays in History and Philosophy de J. Ferreiros

The Architecture of Modern Mathematics: Essays in History and Philosophy

Editat de J. Ferreiros, J. J. Gray
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 apr 2006
This edited volume, aimed at both students and researchers in philosophy, mathematics and history of science, highlights leading developments in the overlapping areas of philosophy and the history of modern mathematics. It is a coherent, wide ranging account of how a number of topics in the philosophy of mathematics must be reconsidered in the light of the latest historical research, and how a number of historical accounts can be deepened by embracing philosophical questions.

Recenzii

The essays are uniformly a joy to read, and the bibliography is ample, giving interested readers an extensive springboard for further exploration. I recommend it highly.
