Monism and Beyond
In Realism in mathematics. New York: Oxford University Prress (1990)
Abstract
Outlines a physicalistic version of set theoretic realism, and compares and contrasts it with Field's nominalism, with structuralism, and with modalism. I conclude that, despite metaphysical differences, versions of all these views share the new challenge raised in Ch. 4: how are new axiom candidates to be rationally evaluated?Author's Profile
