6. Mathematics / A. Nature of Mathematics / 3. Nature of Numbers / a. Numbers
|
13861
|
Number theory aims at the essence of natural numbers, giving their nature, and the epistemology [Wright,C]
|
6. Mathematics / A. Nature of Mathematics / 3. Nature of Numbers / c. Priority of numbers
|
13892
|
One could grasp numbers, and name sizes with them, without grasping ordering [Wright,C]
|
6. Mathematics / A. Nature of Mathematics / 4. Using Numbers / d. Counting via concepts
|
13867
|
Instances of a non-sortal concept can only be counted relative to a sortal concept [Wright,C]
|
6. Mathematics / B. Foundations for Mathematics / 4. Axioms for Number / d. Peano arithmetic
|
17441
|
Wright thinks Hume's Principle is more fundamental to cardinals than the Peano Axioms are [Wright,C, by Heck]
|
|
13862
|
There are five Peano axioms, which can be expressed informally [Wright,C]
|
|
17853
|
Number truths are said to be the consequence of PA - but it needs semantic consequence [Wright,C]
|
|
17854
|
What facts underpin the truths of the Peano axioms? [Wright,C]
|
6. Mathematics / B. Foundations for Mathematics / 5. Definitions of Number / c. Fregean numbers
|
13894
|
Sameness of number is fundamental, not counting, despite children learning that first [Wright,C]
|
6. Mathematics / B. Foundations for Mathematics / 5. Definitions of Number / d. Hume's Principle
|
10140
|
We derive Hume's Law from Law V, then discard the latter in deriving arithmetic [Wright,C, by Fine,K]
|
|
8692
|
Frege has a good system if his 'number principle' replaces his basic law V [Wright,C, by Friend]
|
|
17440
|
Wright says Hume's Principle is analytic of cardinal numbers, like a definition [Wright,C, by Heck]
|
|
13893
|
It is 1-1 correlation of concepts, and not progression, which distinguishes natural number [Wright,C]
|
6. Mathematics / B. Foundations for Mathematics / 5. Definitions of Number / e. Caesar problem
|
13888
|
If numbers are extensions, Frege must first solve the Caesar problem for extensions [Wright,C]
|
6. Mathematics / C. Sources of Mathematics / 1. Mathematical Platonism / a. For mathematical platonism
|
13869
|
Number platonism says that natural number is a sortal concept [Wright,C]
|
6. Mathematics / C. Sources of Mathematics / 4. Mathematical Empiricism / a. Mathematical empiricism
|
13870
|
We can't use empiricism to dismiss numbers, if numbers are our main evidence against empiricism [Wright,C]
|
6. Mathematics / C. Sources of Mathematics / 5. Numbers as Adjectival
|
13873
|
Treating numbers adjectivally is treating them as quantifiers [Wright,C]
|
6. Mathematics / C. Sources of Mathematics / 6. Logicism / c. Neo-logicism
|
13899
|
The Peano Axioms, and infinity of cardinal numbers, are logical consequences of how we explain cardinals [Wright,C]
|
|
13896
|
The aim is to follow Frege's strategy to derive the Peano Axioms, but without invoking classes [Wright,C]
|
|
7804
|
Wright has revived Frege's discredited logicism [Wright,C, by Benardete,JA]
|
6. Mathematics / C. Sources of Mathematics / 6. Logicism / d. Logicism critique
|
13863
|
Logicism seemed to fail by Russell's paradox, Gödel's theorems, and non-logical axioms [Wright,C]
|
|
13895
|
The standard objections are Russell's Paradox, non-logical axioms, and Gödel's theorems [Wright,C]
