I sketch an application of a semantically anti-realist understanding of the classical sequent calculus to the topic of mathematics. The result is a semantically anti-realist defence of a kind of mathematical realism. In the paper, I begin the development of the view and compare it to orthodox positions in the philosophy of mathematics.

A general insight of 20th-century philosophy of science is that the acceptance of a scientific theory is grounded, not merely on a theory’s relation to data, but on its status as having no, or being superior to its, competitors. I explore the ways in which scientific realists might be thought to utilise this insight, have in fact utilised it, and can legitimately utilise it. In more detail, I p...

the Real or One – rather than to abstraction. The One is an abstract-without-an operation-of-abstraction, abstraction follows after and is imposed upon thought, as its form, by the Real. 4. I lay claim to theory, but I understand it in terms of the radical identity of science and philosophy, which is to say, the radical identity of the two aspects: knowledge on the one hand, and a transcendenta...

The extravagances of quantum mechanics (QM) never fail to enrich daily the debate around natural philosophy. Entanglement, non-locality, collapse, many worlds, minds, and subjectivism have challenged generations thinkers. Its approach can perhaps be placed in stream logic, which “strangeness” QM is “measured” through violation Bell’s inequalities and, from there, attempts an interpretative path...

Recent discussions of structuralist approaches to scientific theories have stemmed primarily from Worrall’s (1989), in which he defends a position (since characterized

Realism/antirealism issues are considered in light of a pragmatist philosophy of mind. A pragmatist philosophy of mind is cast in terms of a dual-process active-externalist theory of experience. This theory posits two kinds of experience such that mentality (as a capacity for thinking, hypothesizing, theorizing, reasoning, deliberating) constitutes one of the two kinds of experience. The formal...

What does Islamic theology have to say about the philosophy of science? The writings post-classical Muslim thinkers offer a wealth understudied material relevant conceptualizing ontological status, scope, and character scientific inquiry theorization. tradition developed nuanced metaphysical epistemological insights on unobservables, universals, causality. astronomers sophisticated responses pe...

Abstract Pluralist mathematical realism, the view that there exists more than one universe, has become an influential position in philosophy of mathematics. I argue that, if pluralism is true (and we have good reason to believe it is), then realism cannot (easily) be justified by arguments from indispensability mathematics science. This because any justificatory chain inferences applications sc...
