18914 Davidson controversially proposed to quantify over events [Davidson, by Engelbretsen]
5. Theory of Logic / G. Quantification / 6. Plural Quantification

6. Mathematics / C. Sources of Mathematics / 6. Logicism / c. Neo-logicism
9224 Proceduralism offers a version of logicism with no axioms, or objects, or ontological commitment [Fine,K]
6. Mathematics / C. Sources of Mathematics / 10. Constructivism / a. Constructivism
9222 The objects and truths of mathematics are imperative procedures for their construction [Fine,K]
9223 My Proceduralism has one simple rule, and four complex rules [Fine,K]
7. Existence / B. Change in Existence / 4. Events / b. Events as primitive
9843 You can't identify events by causes and effects, as the event needs to be known first [Dummett on Davidson]
