Synopsis
Michael Potter presents a comprehensive new philosophical introduction to set theory. Anyone wishing to work on the logical foundations of mathematics must understand set theory, which lies at its heart. What makes the book unique is that it interweaves a careful presentation of the technical material with a penetrating philosophical critique. Potter does not merely expound the theory dogmatically but at every stage discusses in detail the reasons that can be offered for believing it to be true. Set Theory and its Philosophy is a key text for philosophy, mathematical logic, and computer science.

Review
"Michael Potter has given us a wonderful new book. The mathematics are extremely clearly presented, it's an easy book to learn from. Potter is very good at explaining the motivations-both philosophical and technical-for various bits of mathematics, so one never has the feeling of wading through long pages of pointless technical minutiae. It is a rewarding read even for those who don't intend to follow all the technical details. Potter's book provides a great introduction to set theory and its philosophy, he has written the best philosophical introduction on the market." --Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
