'This book discusses the great philosophers and the importance of mathematics to their thought.Among the topics coverd are; traditional topics in the philosopy of mathematics, such as platonism, formalism and constructivism; the nature of notion and the character definitions; contemporary computational techniques; current debates among mathematicians over the role of experiments in mathematics.''This is a valuable and rather untraditional introduction to some major philosophical issues concerning mathematics.' - Mathematical Reviews
