Defending the Axioms

Auteur: Maddy, Penelope (University of California, Irvine)
Editeur: Oxford University Press
Mathematics depends on proofs, and proofs must begin somewhere, from some fundamental assumptions. The axioms of set theory have long played this role, so the question of how they are properly judged is of central importance. Maddy discusses the appropriate methods for such evaluations and the philosophical backdrop that makes them appropriate.
