Truth Through Proof: A Formalist Foundation for Mathematics
Weir, Alan (Professor of Philosophy, University of Glasgow)
Truth Through Proof defends an anti-platonist philosophy of mathematics derived from game formalism. Alan Weir aims to develop a more satisfactory successor to game formalism utilising a widely accepted, broadly neo-Fregean framework, in which the proposition expressed by an utterance is a function of both sense and background circumstance.
