  • "The Quine-Putnam indispensability argument in the philosophy of mathematics urges us to place mathematical entities on the same ontological footing as other theoretical entities essential to our best scientific theories.

This book not only outlines the indispensability argument in considerable detail but also defends it against various challenges."
