`Without doubt this volume is a major contribution to recent philosophy of mathematics and should be read by anyone interested in this difficult but philosophically central field.' Peter Clark, Times Higher Education Supplement `Several important insights are woven together and brought to bear on the nature of mathematics in this signal contribution to the philosophy of the field.' Daniel H. Cohen, Mathematical Reviews `rich, subtle, and insightful' Stewart Shapiro, Nous 'This is an exciting and intriguing book, rich in ideas and not short on technical ingenuity, that will doubtless repay careful study. A short review leaves no scope for the detailed critical assessment it merits.' Bob Hale, University of St Andrews, The Philosophical Review, Vol. 101, No. 4 (October 1992) 'the amount of mathematics developed within Hellman's modal framework is impressive ... Hellman's approach makes use of categorical modal-existence postulates, thus achieving truth-determinateness in a way not available to the traditional postulationist.' A.D. Irvine, University of British Columbia, History & Philosophy of Logic '...concise mathematical monograph...' Contemporary Physics, Vol. 38 No. 4, 1997 `Concise mathematical monograph.'
