On Reflection
Philosophical Quarterly 71 (4):pqaa083 (2021)
Abstract
This article gives an epistemological analysis of the reflection process by means of which you can come to know the consistency of a mathematical theory that you already accept. It is argued that this process can result in warranted belief in new mathematical principles without justifying them.My notes
