“Anti-Realist Classical Logic and Realist Mathematics,” to appear in a volume on anti-realism and realism.

The result is a semantically anti-realist defence of mathematical realism. In the paper, I develop the view and compare it to orthodox positions in the philosophy of mathematics.

Since we are in the main not sceptics, we might go on and frankly confess to each other the motives for our several faiths. I frankly confess mine – I cannot but think that at bottom they are of an aesthetic and not of a logical sort. — William James Essays in Radical Empiricism.
