{"product_id":"9780521452793","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":49709629440248,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":188.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9780521452793-1.jpg?v=1783599314","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9780521452793","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
