Science Without Numbers: A Defence of Nominalism
Princeton, NJ, USA: Princeton University Press (1980)
Abstract
Science Without Numbers caused a stir in 1980, with its bold nominalist approach to the philosophy of mathematics and science. It has been unavailable for twenty years and is now reissued in a revised edition with a substantial new preface presenting the author's current views and responses to the issues raised in subsequent debate.Author's Profile
