The Löwenheim-Skolem theorems show that whether all sets are constructible is indeterminate [Putnam, by Shapiro]

5. Theory of Logic / J. Model Theory in Logic / 3. Löwenheim-Skolem Theorems

9913	The Löwenheim-Skolem Theorem is close to an antinomy in philosophy of language [Putnam]

9914	It is unfashionable, but most mathematical intuitions come from nature [Putnam]

How could the mind have a link to the necessary character of reality? [Devitt]

12. Knowledge Sources / A. A Priori Knowledge / 11. Denying the A Priori
