'It is no criticism to say that a philosophical book leaves questions unanswered -- they all do. What matters is that an author should answer the questions he set out to address, and raise new ones of sufficient interest to sustain further debate. In this, Resnik has succeeded admirably.'International Studies in the Philosophy of Science, "For over twenty years, Michael D.

Synopsis
Mathematics as a Science of Patterns is the definitive exposition of a system of ideas about the nature of mathematics which Michael Resnik has been elaborating for a number of years. In calling mathematics a science he implies that it has a factual subject-matter and that mathematical knowledge is on a par with other scientific knowledge; in calling it a science of patterns he expresses his commitment to a structuralist philosophy of mathematics. He links this to a defence of realism about the metaphysics of mathematics--the view that mathematics is about things that really exist. Resnik's distinctive philosophy of mathematics is here presented in an accessible and systematic form: it will be of value not only to specialists in this area, but to philosophers, mathematicians, and logicians interested in the relationship between these three disciplines, or in truth, realism, and epistemology., This book expounds a system of ideas about the nature of mathematics which Michael Resnik has been elaborating for a number of years. In calling mathematics a science he implies that it has a factual subject-matter and that mathematical knowledge is on a par with other scientific knowledge; in calling it a science of patterns he expresses his commitment to a structuralist philosophy of mathematics. He links this to a defense of realism about the metaphysics of mathematics--the view that mathematics is about things that really exist., Mathematics as a Science of Patterns is the definitive exposition of Michael Resnik's distinctive view of the nature of mathematics. He calls mathematics a science on the grounds that it has a factual subject-matter and that mathematical knowledge is on a par with other scientific knowledge; in calling it a science of patterns he expresses his commitment to a structuralist philosophy of mathematics. He links this to a defence of realism about the metaphysics of mathematics - the view that mathematics is about things that really exist.'interesting, well written . . . [a] timely and important addition to contemporary philosophy of mathematics.' British Journal for the Philosophy of Science
