Mathematics and Experience

In his book the author makes an attempt to draw a large-scale comparison of various approaches toward the relationship between mathematics and experience that have developed mainly as part of prioriism and empiricism. The comparison is performed by examining it from a purely theoretical perspective and considering various historical and philosophical situations. The author explores possible alternative approaches that go beyond the aprioriism-empiricism dilemma in interpreting the relationship between mathematics, experience and experiential knowledge.

The book is of interest for mathematicians, philosophers, specialists and teachers of the history and philosophy of science, undergraduate and postgraduate students of mathematical and natural-science specialties.
