Charles Parsons’s new book — let’s discuss it!

Charles Parsons has a new book out, Philosophy of Mathematics in the Twentieth Century

a collection of his essays (all but one, I think,  previously published but with some new postscripts). Here’s the table of contents.

Parsons is always worth reading and thinking about. So I’m going to be reviewing this for Mind, since I’ll enjoy the chance of re-reading some of these essays, and catching up with those I haven’t read before. My plan is to post about some thoughts on the essays in order, starting about three weeks hence.

I’m announcing this in advance to give you a chance to get a copy of the book (or persuade your librarian to do a rush acquisition), though I’ll also post links to previously published versions of essays, where available. I hope some will be inspired to join in discussion in the comments.
