  1. The Metamathematics of Putnam’s Model-Theoretic Arguments.Tim Button - 2011 - Erkenntnis 74 (3):321-349.
    Putnam famously attempted to use model theory to draw metaphysical conclusions. His Skolemisation argument sought to show metaphysical realists that their favourite theories have countable models. His permutation argument sought to show that they have permuted models. His constructivisation argument sought to show that any empirical evidence is compatible with the Axiom of Constructibility. Here, I examine the metamathematics of all three model-theoretic arguments, and I argue against Bays (2001, 2007) that Putnam is largely immune to metamathematical challenges.

  • The Mathematics of Skolem's Paradox.Timothy Bays - 2002 - In Dale Jacquette (ed.), Philosophy of Logic. Malden, Mass.: North Holland. pp. 615--648.
    Over the years, Skolem’s Paradox has generated a fairly steady stream of philosophical discussion; nonetheless, the overwhelming consensus among philosophers and logicians is that the paradox doesn’t constitute a mathematical problem (i.e., it doesn’t constitute a real contradiction). Further, there’s general agreement as to why the paradox doesn’t constitute a mathematical problem. By looking at the way firstorder structures interpret quantifiers—and, in particular, by looking at how this interpretation changes as we move from structure to structure—we can give a technically (...)

  • تحلیل منطقی فلسفی پارادوکس اسکولم. Mansooreh - 2015 - Dissertation,
    ریاضیدانان هرروز با مجموعههای ناشمارا، مجموعهی توانی، خوشترتیبی، تناهی و ... سروکار دارند و با این تصور که این مفاهیم همان چیزهایی هستند که در ذهن دارند، کتابها و اثباتهای ریاضی را میخوانند و میفهمند و درمورد آنها صحبت میکنند. اما آیا این مفاهیم همان چیزهایی هستند که ریاضیدانان تصور میکنند؟ اولینبار اسکولم با بیان یک پارادوکس شک خود را به این موضوع ابراز کرد. بنابر قضیهی لوونهایم اسکولم رو به پایین، نظریه مجموعهها مدلی شمارا دارد. این مدل قضیهی کانتور (...)

  • Deflating skolem.F. A. Muller - 2005 - Synthese 143 (3):223-253.
    . Remarkably, despite the tremendous success of axiomatic set-theory in mathematics, logic and meta-mathematics, e.g., model-theory, two philosophical worries about axiomatic set-theory as the adequate catch of the set-concept keep haunting it. Having dealt with one worry in a previous paper in this journal, we now fulfil a promise made there, namely to deal with the second worry. The second worry is the Skolem Paradox and its ensuing Skolemite skepticism. We present a comparatively novel and simple analysis of the argument (...)
