Platonism and Anti-Platonism in Mathematics Paperback - 2001

by Mark Balaguer

In this book, Balaguer demonstrates that there are no good arguments for or against mathematical platonism. He does this by establishing that both platonism and anti-platonism are defensible. (Philosophy)


First line

In this chapter, I will discuss Benacerraf's epistemological argument against platonism, which holds, in a nutshell, that platonism cannot be right because it precludes the possibility of mathematical knowledge.

Description: "In this highly absorbing work, Balaguer demonstrates that no good arguments exist either for or against mathematical platonism-for example, the view that abstract mathematical objects do exist and that mathematical theories are descriptions of such objects. Balaguer does this by establishing that both platonism and anti-platonism are justifiable views. Introducing a form of platonism, called 'full-blooded platonism,' that solves all problems traditionally associated with the view, he proceeds to defend anti-platonism (in particular, mathematical fictionalism) against various attacks-most notably the Quine-Putnam indispensability attack.
