Apriorism

Colin Cheyne

pp. 145-155

Résumé

There is a long tradition of regarding mathematical knowledge as a priori knowledge. But most detailed accounts in this tradition are not overtly platonistic and many are clearly not. In this chapter I examine three recent accounts that explicitly combine the claims that mathematical objects are platonic and that we can know a priori that they exist.
