Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to apply Crispin Wright's criteria and various axes of objectivity to mathematics. I test the criteria and the objectivity of mathematics against each other. Along the way, various issues concerning general logic and epistemology are encountered. © Springer Science+Business Media, Inc. 2007.
