The Nature of Mathematical Knowledge
Author(s)
Kitcher, Philip
Kitcher, Philip
In this book Philip Kitcher argues against this 'mathematical apriorism.' He offers a fresh, alternative approach that links mathematics to natural science and portrays mathematics as a body of knowledge that evolves through its history.
Kitcher presents a complete, systematic, and richly detailed account of the nature of mathematical knowledge and its historical development.
