On Nelson’s Position within Philosophy of Mathematics (1928)
نویسنده
چکیده
‖ Subsequently to the preceding article by Otto Meyerhof some words on Nelson’s significance for the philosophy of mathematics might be added. Nelson belonged to those philosophers whose way of thinking resulted from a familiarity with the spirit of the exact sciences. For him, mathematics and theoretical physics formed the methodical ideal that he strived to achieve in elaborating his philosophical thoughts. He found the requirement of rigorous systematicity to be ‖ completely fulfilled in mathematical axiomatics, in particular in the form that Hilbert had given it in the Foundations of Geometry. And therefore it was his endeavor to conquer new grounds for this method of axiomatics in the domain of philosophy.

reality, so that should count against classifying their position as platonist. They are certainly not constructivists, yet some versions of formalism (term formalists) do consider mathematics to be about symbols, and so are not obviously nominalist either (there is quantification over abstract objects, and if these symbols are to count as being mathematical, that would preclude viewing the posi...
