| Feb 6, 2018 at 21:24 | comment | added | Conifold | 1: we do not say that, and we have plenty of different ones; 2: they are not independent of reality but transparently derived from applications, in less than six degrees of separation. See What are the differences between philosophies presupposing one Logic versus many logics? Inconsistent Mathematics, Constructive Mathematics, Predicative mathematics. | |
| Feb 6, 2018 at 20:17 | comment | added | MarkOxford | Welcome to the forum. You’ll probably need to spell those questions out a bit more. I don’t think anyone says we can’t have other ‘versions’ of logic or math. In fact, we do have plenty of alternatives to classical logic and math - and more may be conceived of in the future. As for the second question, what do you mean ‘logic and maths are independent of reality’? On a broadly Platonist/Realist view, logic and math are part of reality – albeit an abstract part. Even the Nominalist can (and should) acknowledge that math give something like an ‘accurate description’ of reality. | |
