Trade Review
A Critical Introduction to Fictionalism offers enough overview and background to serve as a genuine introduction to the topic to those not already immersed in the literature, but also, by bringing together strands from debates over fictionalisms in different areas, includes enough food for thought for the more seasoned fictionalist to prompt reflection on how best to develop core fictionalist insights ... recommend[ed] to both of these groups of readers. * Philosophia Mathematica *
