The  viewpoints that serve this purpose included the foundational ideas of  working mathematicians, such as Kronecker, Dedekind, Borel and the  early Hilbert, and the development of notions like model and  modelling, arbitrary function, completeness, and non-Archimedean  structures. The philosophers discussed include not only the household  names in logic, but also Husserl, Wittgenstein and Ramsey. Needless to  say, such logically-oriented thinkers as Frege, Russell and Gödel  are not entirely neglected, either. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience\u003c\/em\u003e: Everybody interested in the philosophy and\/or history  of mathematics will find this book interesting, giving frequently  novel insights. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Springer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1995-11-30\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780792334842\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 460\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45416677277836,"sku":"9780792334842","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792334842.jpg?v=1768917565","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792334842","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
