Knowledge/Causal Theory/Mathematics/Benacerraf/Stalnaker: for mathematics we should expect a semantics that is a continuation of the general semantics.
>Semantics, >Causal theory of knowledge.
Existence statements about numbers, functions, and sets should be interpreted with the same truth-conditional semantics as sentences about tables, quarks, etc.
>Existence statements, >Truth Conditions, >Numbers, >Sets,
>Functions, >Mathematical Entities.
Stalnaker I 42
Platonism/Mathematics/Benacerraf: Platonism gives a natural semantics, but it does not allow plausible epistemology.
>Platonism, >Theory of knowledge.
Reference/Benacerraf: thesis: real reference needs a causal connection.
>Reference, >Causality, >Causal relation.},
