Gödel, mathematics, and possible worlds

Mark Van Atten

pp. 147-155

Abstrakt

Hintikka has claimed that Gödel did not believe in possible worlds and that the actualism this induces is the motivation behind his Platonism. I argue that Hintikka is wrong about what Gödel believed, and that, moreover, there exists a phenomenological unification of Gödel's Platonism and possible worlds theory. This text was written for a special issue of Axiomathes on the philosophy of Nicolai Hartmann, which explains the two introductory paragraphs.
