Více o knize
The book explores the philosophical debate between Platonism and Naturalism in mathematics, offering insights into the perspectives of influential thinkers like Quine and Maddy. It argues for the superiority of Platonism, particularly in explaining concept acquisition in scientific contexts and presents a unique view of applied mathematics that bolsters this stance. Beyond mathematics, the discussion illuminates broader philosophical implications, making it a significant contribution to contemporary philosophical discourse.
