    The Structuralist Ontology of Mathematics: a Brief Introduction
    Balkan Journal of Philosophy 5 (1): 87-102. 2013.
    The paper offers an overview of the motivation for structuralist ontology of mathematics and of the main structuralist position. It discusses the shortcomings ofeliminativist structuralism, and then presents the more promising options: ante rem structuralism, Platonic structuralism, and Parsons’ particular version of structuralism. Our discussion does not cover all of the issues that have relevance for the choice of the particular version of mathematical structuralism, but we do focus on the pro…Read more

    Parsons’ Mathematical Intuition: a Brief Introduction
    Croatian Journal of Philosophy 13 (1): 99-107. 2013.

Our discussion does not cover all of the issues that have relevance for Parsons’ account of mathematical intuition, but we focus on the question: whether our knowledge that there is a model for arithmetic can reasonably be called intuitive. We focus on this question because we have some concerns about that
