About This Book

Mathematics depends on proofs, and proofs must begin somewhere from some fundamental assumptions. The axioms of set theory have long played this role, so the question of how they are properly judged is important. Maddy discusses the appropriate methods for such evaluations and the philosophical backdrop that makes them appropriate.
