This book looks at the Quine-Putnam indispensibility Trgument in the philosophy of mathematics. This argument urges us to place mathematical entities on the same ontological footing as other theoretical entities indispenable to our best scientific theories. The argument has come under serious scrutiny in recent times with many influential philosophers unconvinced of its cogency. This book outlines the indispensibility argument in considerable detail before defending it against various challenges.
