Mathematical Modality: An Investigation in Higher-order Logic

An increasing amount of contemporary philosophy of mathematics posits, and theorizes in terms of special kinds of mathematical modality. The goal of this paper is to bring recent work on higher-order ... logic has played a large role in contemporary philosophy of mathematics. Many ideas about mathematical objects, especially sets, have been fruitfully studied using distinctive mathematical modalities

A Step Towards Absolute Versions of Metamathematical Results

There is a well-known gap between metamathematical theorems and their philosophical interpretations. Take Tarski’s Theorem. According to its prevalent interpretation, the collection of all arithmetical truths is not arithmetically definable. However, the underlying metamathematical theorem merely establishes the arithmetical undefinability of a set of specific Gödel codes of...
