"The present book provides a good overview of the philosophical subject matter concerning the interconnectedness of mathematics and science, in particular physics. The final part on quantum monadology is speculative, albeit thought-inspiring. ... The references throughout the text are useful for more in-depth knowledge on the individual topics and facilitate further research." (Michael M. Tung, Mathematical Reviews, December, 2017)
