Reuben Hersh - What Is Mathematics, Really?
Most philosophers of mathematics treat it as isolated, timeless, ahistorical, inhuman. Reuben Hersh argues the contrary, that mathematics must be understood as a human activity,
a social phenomenon, part of human culture, historically evolved, and intelligible only in a social context. Hersh pulls the screen back to reveal mathematics as seen by
The work of Seymour Hersh, journalist extraordinaire, often comes in for praise for its fearless revelations about the covert criminality of the US government. Hersh, reads the blurb on the back of his latest book, “reveals the stories the others can’t -- or won’t -- get.” Yet an intelligent reading of Hersh’s work, especially his most rec...

We've seen. Everywhere. These. Awful. Bags. OK, so they're better than the Vuitton versions from a season or two back, and the cause for the Jaye Hersh bags is brilliant. I definitely approve of that, and it's a very clever idea of the woman's. However I'm thinking that once again this could just be another 'I'm not a plastic bag' fever, where celebs just want to be seen doing (toting) the right thing, when actually they could donate a lot more and just continue wearing their normal bags (and anyway, let's face it, it's most likely that the new Market Place bags will be off the celebs' arms and onto our very own eBay market place before long).
