Mathematical theories as models
pp. 291-307
Abstract
The thoughts in this paper follow a suggestion by Reuben Hersh that pluralists think of mathematical theories as models of other parts of mathematics. Through this lens, the totality of "mathematics' is then a game of interpretation of one theory by another. As a discipline, mathematics is sui generis.
