Reviews

The book provides a masterly overview of many central stakes in philosophy of mathematics where model theory is involved, either as a source or as a tool. Anyone interested in mathematical structures, in categoricity, or in internalization of semantics, especially in the cases of arithmetic and set theory, will find everything she is looking for, and more. * Brice Halimi, Universite de Paris, Philosophia Mathematica *
