Hardback. Mancosu offers an original investigation of key notions in mathematics: abstraction and infinity, and their interaction. He gives a historical analysis of the theorizing of definitions by abstraction, and explores a novel approach to measuring the size of infinite sets, showing how this leads to deep mathematical and philosophical problems. Num Pages: 240 pages. BIC Classification: HPL; PBB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 163 x 243 x 19. Weight in Grams: 492.
