Fernando Zalamea is Professor of Mathematics at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia.
This book, elegantly and clearly translated by Z.L. Fraser
provides, for the Anglophone world, insight into Zalamea's renewal
of philosophy through mathematical (and synthetical)
means.—Tzuchien Tho, MUTE
Zalamea's book is thematically vast. It is truly astounding to
behold the rich range of mathematical themes that are touched upon,
arguably including all of the most important objects of
contemporary exploration.—Giuseppe Longo, Speculations
This is a weighty and daring book. It proposes a new philosophy of
mathematics, based on a detailed knowledge of the most recent work
in advanced mathematics, and constructed in explicit contrast with
the traditional analytical approach … this new synthetic and
open-minded approach is no doubt worthy of attention, and
philosophers who dare to make an effort will surely reap the
reward.—Paloma Pérez-Ilzarbe, MathSciNet
