The architecture of modern mathematics: essays in history and philosophy

Leading developments in the overlapping areas of philosophy and the history of modern mathematics.Coherent account aimed at both students and researchers in philosophy, mathematics and history of science.Authored by leading scholars.This edited volume, aimed at both students and researchers in philosophy, mathematics and history of science, highlights leading developments in the overlapping areas of philosophy and the history of modern mathematics. It is a coherent, wide ranging account of how a number of topics in the philosophy of mathematics must be reconsidered in the light of the latest historical research, and how a number of historical accounts can be deepened by embracing philosophical questions.
