Pdf Platonism Intuition And The Nature Of Mathematics In this paper i examine arguments by benacerraf and by chihara against gödel's platonistic philosophy of mathematics. the paper derives from my response to benacerraf (1973) in the american philosophical association symposium mathematical truth. This brief summary will suffice to characterize platonism and its appli cation to mathematics. this application is so widespread that it is not an exaggeration to say that platonism reigns today in mathematics.

"platonism" as a philosophy of mathematics refers back to plato's dialogues on the forms, which have been represented as existing in some eternal, unchanging, non physical realm. platonism in mathematics locates mathematical objects there. Mathematics is not bound to respect the rules of logic. knowing mathematics does not require knowing formal proofs, and for this reason the paradoxes are unimportant even if we were to accept the mathematical concepts and constructions they involve.
