Review:
In What Is Mathematics, Really?, author Reuben Hersh proposes a philosophy of mathematics that he calls "humanism" and uses this philosophy to analyze age-old questions of proof, certainty, and invention versus discovery. He also surveys the history of the philosophy of math. Readers of all levels of mathematical experience will be stimulated by the fascinating and perspicacious discussions Hersh has to offer.

Reuben Hersh is Professor Emeritus at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. He is a winner of the Chauvenet Prize and the Ford Prize. He is the author (with Philip J. Davis) of The Mathematical Experience and Descarte's Dream. The Mathematical Experience won a National Book Award.
