This massive two-volume reference presents a comprehensive selection of the most important works on the foundations of mathematics. While the volumes include important forerunners like Berkeley, MacLaurin, and D'Alembert, as well as such followers as Hilbert and Bourbaki, their emphasis is on the mathematical and philosophical developments of the nineteenth century. Besides reproducing reliable English translations of classics works by Bolzano, Riemann, Hamilton, Dedekind, and Poincare, William Ewald also includes selections from Gauss, Cantor, Kronecker, and Zermelo, all translated here for the first time.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"There are already two great collections of key texts of the history of modern logic and the foundations of mathematics available: J. van Heijenoort's book From Frege to G�del and P. Benacerf's and H. Putnam's selected readings in Philosophy of Mathematics. The marvelous two-volume set under review complements these predecessors in a perfect way." --Mathematical Reviews
"I cannot begin to express my admiration or appreciation for the work that has gone into making this wonderful collection. Our thanks to William Ewald for this invaluable source book should be unbounded...[E]very serious library should have a copy. It is an invaluable resource and anyone interested in the philosophy and foundations of mathematics should start perusing its pages right away."--International Studies in the Philosophy of Science
