  1. Are There No Things That are Scientific Theories?Steven French & Peter Vickers - 2011 - British Journal for the Philosophy of Science 62 (4):771-804.
    The ontological status of theories themselves has recently re-emerged as a live topic in the philosophy of science. We consider whether a recent approach within the philosophy of art can shed some light on this issue. For many years philosophers of aesthetics have debated a paradox in the (meta)ontology of musical works (e.g. Levinson [1980]). Taken individually, there are good reasons to accept each of the following three propositions: (i) musical works are created; (ii) musical works are abstract objects; (iii) (...)

    This paper, written in Romanian, compares fictionalism, nominalism, and neo-Meinongianism as responses to the problem of objectivity in mathematics, and then motivates a fictionalist view of objectivity as invariance.

  • Gödel, truth & proof.Jaroslav Peregrin - manuscript
    In this paper I would like to indicate that this interpretation of Gödel goes far beyond what he really proved. I would like to show that to get from his result to a conclusion of the above kind requires a train of thought which is fuelled by much more than Gödel's result itself, and that a great deal of the excessive fuel should be utilized with an extra care.

  • Carnap's philosophy of mathematics.Benjamin Marschall - 2022 - Philosophy Compass 17 (11):e12884.
    For several decades, Carnap's philosophy of mathematics used to be either dismissed or ignored. It was perceived as a form of linguistic conventionalism and thus taken to rely on the bankrupt notion of truth by convention. However, recent scholarship has revealed a more subtle picture. It has been forcefully argued that Carnap is not a linguistic conventionalist in any straightforward sense, and that supposedly decisive objections against his position target a straw man. This raises two questions. First, how exactly should (...)

    Cet article discute des analyses de Gödel sur la réalité des objets mathématiques. Nous distinguons trois énoncés :(i) Les mathématiques décrivent une réalité non sensible, qui existe indépendamment des actes et des dispositions de l’esprit humain.(ii) Les théories mathématiques ne sont pas créées par l’ego à partir de rien.(iii) Les mathématiques (ou quelque chose dans les mathématiques) sont indépendantes des propriétés spécifiques de l’esprit humain.En nous appuyant sur ses archives, nous soutenons que Gödel ne peut pas adopter le platonisme fort (...)
