Philosophical Speculations

It's a type of mathematical idealism, not a formalist aproach. There are some decent arguments agaijst formalism in there, and he deals with Münchausen trilemma. But obviously, you do you Obviously I have not read the book, only the short abstract. Based on that it looks like extending point-reduct...

Implicit in this mathematical substance, or form, is experiential content or representation (eidolon, eido- for idea or representation; morphe for form), hence the name, eidomorphism, or ideas coupled to form. Hence, eidomorphism, or form and representation in a single existent object." Mathem...

Without getting too sidetracked, the task i am proposing here is to determine the way we can interface any analytic idealism with present physics, with mathematical foundations, and with cosmology. Why is this necessary? My suggestion is that the very attempt would alter and refine the map, as well ...

Have you tried Neven Knezevic's take on an ontological mathematics? His arguments are well formulated but also long winded (which might be necessary for this kind of mapping). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52184776-eidomorphism This is his first attempt, although i know he is working on a mor...

The reason i think this is an interesting, if not important discussion has been addressed in my op. There is a missing link between metaphysics and mathematics, and i find it is often to do with the assumptions people have on what mathematics is whete the philosophy of mathematics is presumed. The ...

I should note that I consider all this as just an interesting ontological exercise -- like any ontology, the claim "Reality consists entirely of a Mathematician creating mathematical objects" cannot be proven. But I am not aware of any empirical or rational reason to reject it out of hand...

If the measurements are at all accurate (which scientists assume they are), what exactly is being measured (is it reality or something else?) and how does mathematics "measure" any part of reality, if reality is in no way mathematical? Or perhaps more simply: what makes reality measurable...

Would you say that reality is mathematical ontologically? If reality is not at all ontologically mathematical, how would math map to reality at all? What is mathematics actually showing us about nature? World has mathematical aspects, but there are also non-mathematical qualia. By the definition I'...
