Review from previous edition essential reading for all those interested in the area* Graham Priest, Studia Logica *
Philosophy of Mathematics Today, a volume that collects together papers by many of the leading contemporary figures in the field, provides ample evidence that reflection upon mathematics and mathematical logic continues to provoke some of the most sophisticated and searching philosophical enquiry engaged in to date ... a formidable collection. * Fraser MacBride, Mind *
