Figures of Thought: Mathematics and Mathematical Texts Hardcover - 1994
by David Reed
From the rear cover
Figures of Thought looks at ways in which mathematical works can be read as texts and demonstrates that such readings provide a rich source of philosophical issues relating to mathematics; issues which are directly relevant to working mathematicians and which traditional approaches to the history and philosophy of mathematics have largely ignored.

David Reed offers the first sustained and critical attempt to find a consistent argument or narrative thread in mathematical texts.
