Not content to leave the matter there, however, he advances the anti-metaphysical conclusion that there is no fact of the matter about the existenc...

We study weak theories of truth over combinatory logic and their relationship to weak systems of explicit mathematics. In particular, we consider two truth theories TPR and TPT of primitive recursive and feasible strength. The latter theory is a novel abstract truth-theoretic setting which is able to interpret expressive feasible subsystems of explicit mathematics.

The heterogeneous nature of the community, which includes many who are not specialist histor...
