This is an excellent introductory text for philosophy of mathematics courses, something which is much needed. -Mary Tiles, University of Hawa'ii Philosophy of Mathematics is written in a lively and accessible style. It uses a wealth of stimulating examples. and covers a wide variety of topics in the philosophy of mathematics, including some new and little explored questions. -Alexander Bird, University of Edinburgh The book is filled with Brown's insightful views on many issues in the philosophy of mathematics; most importantly, his love of, and enthusiasm for, his subject is apparent on every page....Students, I think, will be provoked by Brown's up-front approach and inspired to think seriously about the philosophy of mathematics themselves. All in all this is a wonderful introduction to the philosophy of mathematics. It's lively, accessible, and, above all, a terrific read. It would make an ideal text for an undergraduate course on the philosophy of mathematics; indeed, I recommend it to anyone interested in the philosophy of mathematics--even specialists in the area can learn from this book. -Mrk Colyvan, University of Tasmania and University of California, Irvine, Philosophy in Review
