Relativist Structuralism just stipulates one successful model as its arithmetic [Reck/Price]
|
|
10179

Formalist Structuralism says the ontology is vacuous, or formal, or inference relations [Reck/Price]
|
|
10178
|
Maybe we should talk of an infinity of 'possible' objects, to avoid arithmetic being vacuous [Reck/Price]
|
6. Mathematics / B. Foundations for Mathematics / 7. Mathematical Structuralism / d. Platonist structuralism

|
|
10177
|
Universalist Structuralism eliminates the base element, as a variable, which is then quantified out [Reck/Price]
