PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
David Bostock has been a Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy at Merton College, and Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Oxford. His recent publications include Intermediate Logic (1997), Aristotle’s Ethics (2000), and Space, Time, Matter, and Form: Essays on Aristotle's Physics (2006).
?Given this caveat, Bostock?s new book is highly recommendable as a text for undergraduate seminars in the philosophy of mathematics and also for individual study. It covers all the essentials and more. It should appeal not only to students who have already developed a preference for the general approach and style of contemporary analytic philosophy, but also to a broader audience of students and to people with a non-professional interest in philosophy and mathematics.? (Erkenn, 2011) This is a concise as well as comprehensive presentation of core topics in the philosophy of mathematics, written in a clear and engaged manner, hence well readable. (Zentralblatt MATH, 2011) The best textbook on the philosophy of mathematics bar none ?Alexander Paseau, University of Oxford Bostock's 'Philosophy of Mathematics' is remarkably comprehensive compared to other surveys of philosophy of mathematics. The writing is engaging and clear, and it treats a wide range of issues in considerable depth, including issues that are often ignored or downplayed in more general discussions. ?Alan Baker, Swarthmore College
