What is a Mathematical Concept? 1st Edition by Elizabeth de Freitas (PDF)

Description

Responding to widespread interest within cultural studies and social inquiry, this book addresses the question ‘what is a mathematical concept?’ using a variety of vanguard theories in the humanities and posthumanities. Tapping historical, philosophical, sociological and psychological perspectives, each chapter explores the question of how mathematics comes to matter. Of interest to scholars across the usual disciplinary divides, this book tracks mathematics as a cultural activity, drawing connections with empirical practice. Unlike other books in this area, it is highly interdisciplinary, devoted to exploring the ontology of mathematics as it plays out in different contexts. This book will appeal to scholars who are interested in particular mathematical habits – creative diagramming, structural mappings, material agency, interdisciplinary coverings – that shed light on both mathematics and other disciplines. Chapters are also relevant to social sciences and humanities scholars, as each offers philosophical insight into mathematics and how we might live mathematically.
