New Directions in the Philosophy of Mathematics
Abstract
As the time for preparing these remarks drew nearer, I found myself warming to our assigned topic—“New Directions in the Philosophy of Mathematics”. What I like about it is the suggestion that the speaker will be pointing in some inspiring style towards a new vista, a new set of problems, a new direction in the field rather than proposing a substantial contribution to the solution to some already well-known difficulty. This image makes me feel less guilty about having no solutions of any sort to offer today. What I do have is a problem to pose, a problem that seems to me quite serious. If it isn't completely new, I can at least say truly that it hasn't received the attention that it deserves, that it is far from solved, and that it has become more pressing in recent years.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
