Title: Modal StructuralismLocation: Room L1.07, ILLC Lab42, Science Park 900, Amsterdam / OnlineFor this session we will look at Modality and Structuralism, section 15 of: Charles Parsons, Mathematical Thought and Its Objects, 1st ed. (Cambridge University Press, 2007). As the title suggests, Parson explores an account of structuralism trough modal notions; the role of necessity and possibility in mathematical discourse, and the ontology of mathematical objects.
