This morning I read, in the current SIAM News, Phillip Davis' review
of Ian Hacking's *The Social Construction of What?* . I admit I didn't
study it but it seems to have some of the same points as
Prof. Borzacchini.
My question to those who have read the book: does it shed light on
the foundations of mathematics? I got the impression that Prof. Davis did.
