Recenzii
Mathematics and Reality is to be recommended highly ... it presents a distinctive new version of fictionalism to throw into the contemporary mix that will repay close attention by all philosophers of mathematics.
I also believe that this book has the potential to serve as a source of productive disagreement that would significantly advance the realismanti-realism debate in mathematics.
...an original and valuable study, whose greatest merit is perhaps its ability to construct a well deveoped and rich philosophical framework to defend the intuitive idea that the success of mathematics in applications depends essentially on how things are with non-mathematical objects.
The book is sure to generate considerable discussion: as the most substantial work on nominalism to appear for a decade or so, it demands a prompt response from the antinominalist side if the issue is not to go by default, and as the earliest large-scale treatment of an important type of position, it is likely to be the point of departure in debates for years to come. Mathematics and Reality belongs on the shelf of every philosopher of mathematics.
