They investigate controversial aspects of contemporary theories such as neo-logicist abstractionism, structuralism, or multiversism about sets, by discussing different conceptions of mathematical realism and rival relativistic views on the mathematical universe.  They consider fundamental philosophical notions such as set, cardinal number, truth, ground,  finiteness and infinity, examining  how their informal conceptions can best be captured in formal theories.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe philosophy of mathematics is an extremely lively  field of inquiry, with extensive reaches in disciplines such as logic and philosophy of logic, semantics, ontology, epistemology, cognitive sciences, as well as history and philosophy of mathematics and science. By bringing together well-known scholars and younger researchers, the essays in this collection – prompted by the meetings of the Italian Network for the Philosophy of Mathematics (FilMat) – show how much valuable research is currently being pursued in this area, and how many roads ahead are still open for promising solutions to long-standing philosophical concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePromoted by the Italian Network for the Philosophy of Mathematics – FilMat\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-07-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319316420\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-31644-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 344\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378530738316,"sku":"9783319316420","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319316420.jpg?v=1772024983","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319316420","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
