Reader reviews for The Limits of Abstraction

From the publisher

Kit Fine develops a Fregean theory of abstraction, and suggests that it may yield a new philosophical foundation for mathematics, one that can account for both our reference to various mathematical objects and our knowledge of various mathematical truths. The Limits of Abstraction breaks new ground both technically and philosophically.

First line

AN abstraction principle associates objects with the items from a given domain, the objects associated with two items being the same when the items are suitably related and the objects being distinct when the items are not so related.
