6. Mathematics / C. Sources of Mathematics / 6. Logicism / d. Logicism critique

13471	Mathematics makes existence claims, but philosophers usually say those are never analytic [Hart,WD]
	Full Idea: The thesis that no existence proposition is analytic is one of the few constants in philosophical consciences, but there are many existence claims in mathematics, such as the infinity of primes, five regular solids, and certain undecidable propositions.
	From: William D. Hart (The Evolution of Logic [2010], 2)
