  1. Indefinite extensibility.Timothy Williamson - 1999 - Grazer Philosophische Studien 55 (1):1-24.
    Of all the cases made against classical logic, Michael Dummett's is the most deeply considered. Issuing from a systematic and original conception of the discipline, it constitutes one of the most distinctive achievements of twentieth century British philosophy. Although Dummett builds on the work of Brouwer and Heyting, he provides the case against classical logic with a new, explicit and general foundation in the philosophy of language. Dummett's central arguments, widely celebrated if not widely endorsed, concern the implications of the (...)

  • Varieties of Indefinite Extensibility.Gabriel Uzquiano - 2015 - Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic 56 (1):147-166.
    We look at recent accounts of the indefinite extensibility of the concept set and compare them with a certain linguistic model of indefinite extensibility. We suggest that the linguistic model has much to recommend over alternative accounts of indefinite extensibility, and we defend it against three prima facie objections.

  • What is required of a foundation for mathematics?John Mayberry - 1994 - Philosophia Mathematica 2 (1):16-35.
    The business of mathematics is definition and proof, and its foundations comprise the principles which govern them. Modern mathematics is founded upon set theory. In particular, both the axiomatic method and mathematical logic belong, by their very natures, to the theory of sets. Accordingly, foundational set theory is not, and cannot logically be, an axiomatic theory. Failure to grasp this point leads obly to confusion. The idea of a set is that of an extensional plurality, limited and definite in size, (...)

  • The potential hierarchy of sets.Øystein Linnebo - 2013 - Review of Symbolic Logic 6 (2):205-228.
    Some reasons to regard the cumulative hierarchy of sets as potential rather than actual are discussed. Motivated by this, a modal set theory is developed which encapsulates this potentialist conception. The resulting theory is equi-interpretable with Zermelo Fraenkel set theory but sheds new light on the set-theoretic paradoxes and the foundations of set theory.
