| Nov 3, 2021 at 23:11 | comment | added | Conifold | "Platonism" in mathematics is taken loosely, a more accurate word for what is so labeled would be "objectivism". One does not even have to assert existence of mathematical objects, only take mathematical statements are taken to have some objective non-conventional truth value. Logicism, as merely asserting reducibility of mathematics to logic, does not have to be platonistic in principle. But its founder, Frege, and his successors are defending existence of mathematical objects, and so are platonists, see SEP. | |

| Nov 3, 2021 at 8:40 | comment | added | Mauro ALLEGRANZA | "logicists believe that axioms means something more than a string of symbols" Exactly; according to G.Frege, the founding father of Logicism, logic is the science of "universal truth". | |
