Clear, concise, critical accounts are given of the various versions of nominalism that have played a significant role in the philosophy of mathematics in recent decades, making possible for the first time a proper comparativeevaluation.MathematicsPhilosophyMathematicsMathematicsPhilosophy.Mathematics.510.1Burgess John P26826Rosen Gideon A1859938MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910972948903321A subject with no object4464312UNINA
