Abstraction and Infinity

ISBN: 9780198746829 出版年：2017 页码：231 Mancosu, Paolo Oxford University Press

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.
