{"product_id":"mathematical-thought-and-its-objects","title":"Mathematical Thought and its Objects","description":"\u003cp\u003eCharles Parsons examines the notion of object, with the aim to navigate between nominalism, denying that distinctively mathematical objects exist, and forms of Platonism that postulate a transcendent realm of such objects. He introduces the central mathematical notion of structure and defends a version of the structuralist view of mathematical objects, according to which their existence is relative to a structure and they have no more of a 'nature' than that confers on them. Parsons also analyzes the concept of intuition and presents a conception of it distantly inspired by that of Kant, which describes a basic kind of access to abstract objects and an element of a first conception of the infinite.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46646789144814,"sku":"9780521119115","price":75.91,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780521119115.jpg?v=1750161295","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/mathematical-thought-and-its-objects","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
