Platonism and Anti-Platonism in Mathematics
Balaguer, Mark (Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, California State University, Los Angeles)
A demonstration of the value of both platonism and anti-platonism in the solution of mathematical problems. The author solves the important problems associated with both of the views, and demonstrates that it is inherently impossible for us to have a valid argument for or against mathematical platonism.
