Arithmetic is one of the foundations of our educational systems, but what exactly is it? This book provides a philosophical account of arithmetical knowledge that is based on the state-of-the-art empirical studies of numerical cognition. It explains how humans have developed arithmetic from humble origins to its modern status.
