It engages directly with both analytic and continental philosophy, as well as the formal and natural sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese new Deleuzian solutions reject other-worldly accounts of mathematics, such as Platonism, and avoid treating mathematics as a mere useful fiction or an empty formalist game. Instead, \u003ci\u003eDeleuze, Mathematics, Metaphysics\u003c\/i\u003e argues that mathematical truth is grounded in the necessity of difference itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince difference is entirely this-worldly, the truth of mathematics does not require us to posit the reality of transcendent entities or possible worlds. This approach not only provides a new metaphysics of mathematics but also explains the usefulness of mathematics for science and why mathematical truths appear to have otherworldly properties in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933951344876,"sku":"9781399536349","price":86.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/e16451bbfd23eef63302fd87d2bb407e.jpg?v=1783891027"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/michael-j-ardoline.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
