6. Mathematics / C. Sources of Mathematics / 8. Finitism

13419	If functions are transfinite objects, finitists can have no conception of them [Parsons,C]
	Full Idea: The finitist may have no conception of function, because functions are transfinite objects.
	From: Charles Parsons (Review of Tait 'Provenance of Pure Reason' [2009], §4)
	A reaction: He is offering a view of Tait's. Above my pay scale, but it sounds like a powerful objection to the finitist view. Maybe there is a finitist account of functions that could be given?
