Gabriel, a week or two ago you made a comment that seemed rather "extreme".
Or rather, my interpretation of it seemed to be. So maybe I got it wrong.
Anyway, let me ask this more direct question of you.
Situation: We have a recursively axiomatizable theory in FOL.
========= We have a particular proposition in the language of the theory.
Statement: The question of whether or not the proposition can be derived
========= from the axioms of the theory, is a completely objective matter.
My query to you: Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
===============
Any commentary that seems pertinent would be welcome.
If anyone else would like to give their own (constructivist) opinion,
please do so.
W Taylor
