For more than two score years I have meditated upon the nature of Mathematics, upon its significance in Thought, and upon its bearings on human Life. In the following course of lectures I have endeavored to present, in the language current among educated men and women, some of the maturer fruits of that study.

Though the course is designed primarily for students whose major interest is in Philosophy, I venture to hope that the lectures may not be ungrateful to a much wider circle of readers and scholars:

To the growing class of such professional mathematicians as are not without interest in the philosophical aspects of their science.

To the growing class of such teachers of mathematics as endeavor to make the spirit of their subject dominate its technique.

To the growing class of those natural-science students who are interested in the logical structure and the distinctive method of mathematics regarded not only as a powerful instrument for natural science but also and especially as the prototype which every branch of science approximates in proportion as its basal assumptions and concepts become clearly defined.

To the innumerous but precious tribe of those literary critics who know that the art of Criticism owes its first allegiance to the eternal laws of thought.
