Is Cantor's continuum problem inherently vague?
Philosophia Mathematica 10 (3):257-285 (2002)
| Abstract | I examine various claims to the effect that Cantor's Continuum Hypothesis and other problems of higher set theory are ill-posed questions. The analysis takes into account the viability of the underlying philosophical views and recent mathematical developments. | |||||||||
