Item description from seller

Mary Leng defends a philosophical account of the nature of mathematics which views it as a kind of fiction (albeit an extremely useful fiction). On this view, the claims of our ordinary mathematical theories are more closely analogous to utterances made in the context of storytelling than to utterances whose aim is to assert literal truths.

Dimension: 241 x 163 x 21. Weight in Grams: 594. . 2010. hardcover. . . . . Books ship from the US and Ireland.
