Plato’s Ghost : The Modernist Transformation Of Mathematics

  • Plato's Ghost : The Modernist Transformation Of Mathematics

  • Attribution

    Jeremy Gray

  • Publication Details

    Book, Princeton University Press, 2008

  • Description

    Plato’s Ghost is the first book to examine the development of mathematics from 1880 to 1920 as a modernist transformation similar to those in art, literature, and music. He shows how mathematics was popularized, and explains how mathematical modernism not only gave expression to the work of mathematicians and the professional image they sought to create for themselves, but how modernism also introduced deeper and ultimately unanswerable questions.
