'I regard this as an important book, for, in presenting the details of a linguistic modal interpretation of much of scientifically applicable mathematics, it helps sharpen and deepen our understanding of some of the most interesting issues in the philosophy of mathematics, and it therebypushes our subject forward.Geoffrey Hellman, Philosophia Mathematica, Series III, 1993, 'an important work in the philosophy of mathematics, well deserving of more careful study and analysis than there has been room for here'John P.

Synopsis
This book is concerned with 'the problem of existence in mathematics'. It develops a mathematical system in which there are no existence assertions but only assertions of the constructibility of certain sorts of things. It explores the philosophical implications of such an approach in an examination of the writings of Field, Burgess, Maddy, Kitcher, and others., Chihara here develops a mathematical system in which there are no existence assertions but only assertions of the constructibility of certain sorts of things. He utilizes this system in the analysis of the nature of mathematics, and discusses many recent works in the philosophy of mathematics from the viewpoint of the constructibility theory developed. This innovative analysis will appeal to mathematicians and philosophers of logic, mathematics, and science.
