Sommario/riassunto |
|
'Science Without Numbers' caused a stir when it was originally published in 1980, with its bold nominalist approach to the philosophy of mathematics and science. It has been unavailable for 20 years and is now reissued in a revised edition with a substantial new preface presenting the author's current views and responses to the issues raised in subsequent debate. |
