In her new video "Platonism vs Mathematics", philosopher Rebecca Goldstein provides a clear and accessible introduction to the Platonic philosophy of mathematics. She explains how Platonism emphasizes the existence of abstract, eternal concepts or "Forms" that exist independently of physical objects, and how this view extends to the realm of mathematics.

According to Platonism, mathematical objects and concepts have an objective, independent reality that can be discovered through reason and logical deduction, and mathematical truths are seen as existing independently of human minds. Goldstein explores the implications of this view for the study of mathematics, including the development of formal axiomatic systems and the search for universal, abstract principles that underlie mathematical phenomena. She also considers the role of Platonism in debates about the reality of abstract mathematical entities, and the relationship between mathematics and our understanding of the world around us. Overall, Goldstein's engaging and informative video provides a valuable introduction to this important philosophical approach to mathematics.
