III. Plural Reference and Set TheoryMost' mathematicians do not perceive the problem which is posed by the abstractness of set theory.They prefer to take an aloof attitude and pretend not to be interested in philosophical (as opposed to purely mathematical) questions.In practice this means that they limit themselves to deducing theorems from axioms which were proposed by some authorities ... the writings of contemporary set theorists and logicians do not offer very much which could help us in solving these problems.
