This 371-page Hungarian edition, published by Typotex Kft. in 2012, addresses a fundamental paradox: while mathematics serves as the language of natural and technical sciencesfundamentally determining our quality of lifeit remains widely viewed as a “necessary evil” even among highly educated individuals, not just in Hungary but globally. Distinguished mathematician and philosopher Reuben Hersh, Professor Emeritus at the University of New Mexico, presents a humanistic philosophy of mathematics that rejects the cold formalism of axiomatic set theory and formal logic. Instead, he reveals mathematics as a living, human activity rooted in intuition, built upon existing knowledge through trial-and-error problem-solving that embraces mistakes and dead ends as integral to mathematical discovery. This second edition introduces readers to the roots and contemporary representatives of humanistic mathematical philosophy, making advanced philosophical concepts accessible to anyone curious about mathematics’ true place in human culture.A matematika termszete: Humanista filozfia a matematikai valsgrl (Msodik kiads)Reuben HershA matematika termszetecm mve ttr filozfiai kutats, amely megkrdjelezi a matematika hagyomnyos felfogst mint elszigetelt, absztrakt diszciplnt.
