Gödel’s incompleteness theorems of 1931 challenged the foundations of mathematics – yet many mathematicians still adhere to rigid, Platonic notions.

This book opens the door to a different perspective: mathematics as a creative, open system. The authors examine key revolutions of the 20th century and show that a flexible ontology reflects mathematical practice more accurately than traditional Platonism.

A compelling contribution for anyone who wants to experience mathematics not as a frozen structure, but as a living, constantly evolving process.
