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. 606 $aMathematics$xPhilosophy 606 $aMathematics 615 0$aMathematics$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aMathematics. 676 $a510.1 700 $aBurgess$b John P$026826 701 $aRosen$b Gideon A$01859938 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910972948903321 996 $aA subject with no object$94464312 997 $aUNINA
