“Brown has made a valuable contribution to the philosophy of mathematics with this book … The book is decidedly even-handed, offering as close to an objective view of both sides as one could hope for in a single book … Brown's analysis of the interplay of these issues with mathematical research is very well done, and commands careful analysis. All of this is crafted very skillfully. It is clear that Brown has a real talent for writing to a general audience, which is unfortunately rare among practicing research mathematicians. The book is well worth the purchase price.”
“R C Brown's book is a highly readable, somewhat polemical, yet overall carefully researched exposition of a school of thought which not only bears many of the hallmarks of an ideology, but — as the ‘Science Wars’ of the 1990s have demonstrated — is also actively seeking political dominance in academia and possibly beyond.”
