More about the book
The essays in this volume adopt a critical approach to the foundational concepts of mathematics and logic, examining the logical and linguistic tools used by mathematicians. Rather than merely reflecting on existing mathematical practices, the authors scrutinize key concepts, often revealing the need for revision or a fresh perspective. This re-examination is constructive, leading to new possibilities and significant insights within the field. The implications of these analyses are extensive, explored throughout the collection in various papers.
