Title: Sam Baron, Platonism and Intra-mathematical Explanation”
Zoom link: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/89100721621*In-person in the
seminar room and simulcast via Zoom*I introduce an argument for
mathematical Platonism based on intra-mathematical explanation: the
explanation of one mathematical fact by another. The argument is
important for two reasons. First, if the argument succeeds then
it provides a basis for Platonism that does not proceed via standard
indispensability considerations. Second, if the argument fails it can
only do so for one of three reasons: either because there are no
intra-mathematical explanations, or because not all explanations are
backed by dependence relations, or because some form of noneism---the
view according to which non-existent entities possess properties and stand
in relations---is true. The argument thus forces a choice between
nominalism without noneism, intra-mathematical explanation and a
backing conception of explanation. You can have any two, but not all
three.
