The Philosophy of Mathematics Today cover

The Philosophy of Mathematics Today gives a panorama of the best current work in this lively field, through twenty essays specially written for this collection by leading figures. The topics include indeterminacy, logical consequence, mathematical methodology, abstraction, and both Hilbert's and Frege's foundational programmes. The collection will be an important source for research in the philosophy of mathematics for years to come.

Review from previous edition essential reading for all those interested in the area. * Graham Priest, Studia Logica *
Philosophy of Mathematics Today, a volume that collects together papers by many of the leading contemporary figures in the field, provides ample evidence that reflection upon mathematics and mathematical logic continues to provoke some of the most sophisticated and searching philosophical enquiry engaged in to date ... a formidable collection. * Fraser MacBride, Mind *
