Reviews
This is one of the most interesting books I have read lately. It is unique and concerns a theme that is much talked between mathematicians and philosophers but until now no one had written so systematically about the subject. ... The book is complete, and it investigates with depth several topics about the beauty in mathematics. ... It is definitely a great book! I strongly recommend it to you if you are a mathematician or philosopher. (Philosophy, Religion and Science Book Reviews, bookinspections.wordpress.com, June, 2016) This first monographic treatment of beauty in mathematics, a work of analytical philosophy, aims for `a consistent literal interpretation of aesthetic judgements in mathematics'; `literal' means taking `beauty' at face value, not as code or metaphor for some specifically mathematical epiphenomenon. ... Provocative reading for students of mathematics, obviously, but also students of philosophy, aesthetics, and art. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. (D. V. Feldman, Choice, Vol. 52 (6), February, 2015)
