Some Proposals for Reviving the Philosophy of Mathematics

Reuben Hersh's 'Some Proposals for Reviving the Philosophy of Mathematics' advances his humanist view of mathematics as a real, social-cultural-historical practice located in shared human thoughts, opposing Platonism, nominalism, fictionalism, and formalism.

The book challenges mainstream philosophies by advocating for mathematics as part of collective human consciousness, like law or religion, fallible and evolving through human creation and exploration.
