Kitcher presents a complete, systematic, and richly detailed account of the nature of mathematical knowledge and its historical development, focusing on such neglected issues as how and why mathematical language changes, why certain questions assume overriding importance, and how standards of proof are modified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book Philip Kitcher argues against this 'mathematical apriorism.' He offers a fresh, alternative approach that links mathematics to natural science and portrays mathematics as a body of knowledge that evolves through its history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.76 x 8.55 x 5.47 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 07, 1985\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53057824325856,"sku":"9780195035414","price":177.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/5909\/4496\/files\/4aeZpaL1pY9780195035414.webp?v=1781382979","url":"https:\/\/improvedinc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-nature-of-mathematical-knowledge-paperback","provider":"Improved Improper Input Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
