Kitcher's Ideal Agents
In Constructibility and mathematical existence. New York: Oxford University Press (1990)
Abstract
Compares and contrasts Philip Kitcher's Ideal Agent account of mathematics with the constructibility view of this work. Raises a variety of doubts about the cogency of Kitcher's account and points out several weaknesses in the account.My notes
