Rezension

"For breadth of coverage, Jacquette s anthology of recent work in philosophy of mathematics has few if any rivals. Many of Jacquette s selections are important for understanding current debates, and he provides helpful introductory discussions. This collection will very likely become a standard resource for students and teachers of this field." Sanford Shieh, Wesleyan University
