Naturalism in Mathematics

Naturalism in Mathematics Naturalism in Mathematics investigates how the most fundamental assumptions of mathematics can be justified. One prevalent philosophical approach to the problem--realism--is examined and rejected in favour of another approach--naturalism. Penelope Maddy defines naturalism, explains the motivation for it, and shows how it can be successfully applied in set theory.
