Revue de presse

an outstanding collection, highly informative, sometimes provocative, often insightful, and throughout displaying the great clarity and command which are hallmarks of the author's writing. (Geoffrey Hellman, Philosophia Mathematica, Vol. 9, No. 2, 2001)

Feferman's book shows that, far from being over, work on the foundations of mathematics is vibrant and continuing, perched deliciously but precariously between mathematics and philosophy. (The Mathematical Intelligencer)
