The aim of this paper is to reveal the tacit assumptions of the logicist and structuralist theories on the nature of cardinal numbers. The privileged background theory is the representational theory of language with its main conjecture about necessary correspondence between metaphysical structure of reality and logical structure of language. In such a theory of language we meet a number of thes...
متن کاملA Defence of Mathematical Pluralism
We approach the philosophy of mathematics via a discussion of the differences between classical mathematics and constructive mathematics, arguing that each is a valid activity within its own context.
