About this listen

 In "Platonism vs Mathematics", philosopher Rebecca Goldstein presents a clear and engaging overview of the Platonic philosophy of mathematics. She explores how Platonism emphasizes the existence of abstract, eternal concepts or "Forms" that exist independently of physical objects, and how this view extends to the realm of mathematics. Goldstein also discusses the implications of Platonism for the study of mathematics, including the development of formal axiomatic systems and the search for universal, abstract principles that underlie mathematical phenomena.
