Description
Philosophy of Mathematics by Stephen F. Barker examines fundamental questions about the nature of mathematics, including the meaning of mathematical truth, the status of numbers and the foundations of mathematical knowledge. Barker introduces major philosophical approaches to mathematics, exploring debates about whether mathematical objects exist independently of the human mind and how mathematical statements can be known with certainty. He also considers the relationship between mathematical reasoning, logic and the structure of reality. Written as an introduction to the subject, the book provides a starting point for readers interested in the philosophical problems underlying mathematics and its claims to objective knowledge.
