Book Description:

This Element shows that Plato keeps a clear distinction between mathematical and metaphysical realism. It also shows that methodological commitments to mathematical objects are made in light of mathematical practice; foundational considerations; and, mathematical applicability. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
