MAA Reviews This is a good introduction to the philosophy of mathematics
clear and concise, and with original observations and a coherent point of view.
John P. Burgess, Princeton University This is an excellent introduction to the philosophy of mathematics, with clear and careful coverage of both traditional topics and cutting-edge contemporary debates.
Roy T. Cook, University of Minnesota This book provides a nice lay of the land for anyone interested in contemporary philosophy of mathematics.
-Gregory Lavers, Philosophy Mathematica [This book] is very, very good. Superbly clear, concise, well organised, it gives not only a very accessible introduction but also takes the reader all the way to the cutting edge of what philosophers are doing in the philosophy of mathematics. Above all, Linnebo writes as a fully engaged philosopher and makes his preferred choice of philosophical position clear. But this is no mere polemic: I felt he clearly and forcefully presents the strengths and weaknesses of all the philosophical positions he discusses.
