Content:
"This book by an American philosopher brings together eleven essays treating problems in logic and the philosophy of mathematics. A common point of view, that the mathematical thought is central to our thought in general, underlies the essays. In his introduction, Parsons articulates that point of view and relates it to past and recent discussions of the foundations of mathematics."--Jacket
