We review different conceptions of the set-theoretic multiverse and evaluate their features and strength. In §1, we set the stage by briefly discussing the opposition between the ‘universe view’ and the ‘multiverse view’, and the notion of ‘set-theoretic multiverse’. Furthermore, we propose to classify multiverse conceptions in terms of their adherence to some form of mathematical realism. In §...
متن کاملMathematical Explanation: Problems and Prospects
Since this issue is devoted to the interaction between philosophy of mathematics and mathematical practice, I would like to begin with an introductory reflection on this topic, before I enter the specifics of my contribution. In the past thirty years there has been a marked shift in philosophy of mathematics, due to the appearance of research on aspects of mathematics that were previously ignor...
متن کاملFrom Temporality to Eternity: Three Philosophical Approaches
