Abstract

The document "A.C. Paseau, ed. Philosophy of Mathematics: Critical Concepts in Philosophy" is a collection of historical and contemporary readings on the philosophy of mathematics. It covers various topics such as logicism, intuitionism, formalism, and the indispensability argument. The collection offers a comprehensive overview of the philosophical foundations of mathematics and is a valuable resource for researchers in the field. In the article "Scientific Platonism" by A.C. Paseau, the concept of scientific platonism is explored, discussing the idea that mathematical objects exist independently of human thought and are discovered rather than invented. The article presents arguments for and against scientific platonism, contributing to the ongoing debate on this philosophical perspective. [Extracted from the article]
