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.

Hardback. Mathematics is as much a science of the real world as biology is. It is the science of the world's quantitative aspects (such as ratio) and structural or patterned aspects (such as symmetry). The book develops a complete philosophy of mathematics that contrasts with the usual Platonist and nominalist options. Num Pages: 308 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 220 x 145 x 23. Weight in Grams: 522.

hardcover. Not all scientific explanations work by describing causal connections between events or the world's overall causal structure. In addition, mathematicians regard some proofs as explaining why the theorems being proved do in fact hold. This book proposes new philosophical accounts of many kinds of non-causal explanations in science and mathematics. Series: Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Science. Num Pages: 512 pages, 56.
