The Prehistory of Mathematical Structuralism - Bog

This edited volume explores the previously underacknowledged 'pre-history' of mathematical structuralism, showing that structuralism has deep roots in the history of modern mathematics. The contributors explore this history along two distinct but interconnected dimensions. First, they reconsider the methodological contributions of major figures in the history of mathematics. Second, they re-examine a range of philosophical reflections from mathematically-inclinded
philosophers like Russell, Carnap, and Quine, whose work led to profound conclusions about logical, epistemological, and metaphysical aspects of structuralism.
