Philosophy of Mathematics: Structure and Ontology
Shapiro, Stewart (Professor of Philosophy, Professor of Philosophy, Ohio State University at Newark)
A structuralist approach to mathematical theory in which Shapiro argues that both realist and anti-realist accounts of mathematics are problematic . He claims that mathematical theory is not a fixed domain of numbers that exist independent of one another, but a natural structure with an initial object and successor relation.
