Table of ContentsReviews'This book is a refreshing, genuinely interdisciplinary exploration of cognitive and epistemological issues concerning numbers. Pantsar argues for the controversial thesis that arithmetic, although rooted in our shared cognitive abilities, is a cultural product. He then explores this thesis's various repercussions, tackling in a novel way traditional philosophical problems about mathematics.'
