Vintage 1998 First Edition Thus, 1st Printing. 215 Pages. Synopsis: In this landmark work in the philosophy of mathematics and science, Mark Steiner addresses Wigner's famous question regarding the "unreasonable effectiveness" of mathematics in describing the physical world. Steiner distinguishes among semantic, metaphysical, and descriptive problems, arguing that modern physics relies on anthropocentric, notation-driven mathematical analogies rather than purely empirical reasoning. His provocative conclusions challenge entrenched naturalist assumptions, presenting a unique picture of a universe highly suited to human cognition.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
