"This book is about mathematical ideas, about what mathematics means - and why. It is concerned not just with which theorems are true, but with what theorems mean and why they are true by virtue of what they mean. And it provides an answer to one of the deepest problems of the philosophy of mathematics: how a being with a finite brain and mind can comprehend infinity."--BOOK JACKET.
