Series:   Elements in the Philosophy of Mathematics

Mathematical Pluralism

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  29 March 2024

City University of New York

Summary

Mathematical pluralism is the view that there is an irreducible plurality of pure mathematical structures, each with their own internal logics; and that qua pure mathematical structures they are all equally legitimate. Mathematical pluralism is a relatively new position on the philosophical landscape. This Element provides an introduction to the position.
