[FOM] Query for Roger Jones

[Bill Taylor]

Roger Jones, you write:

> In this case the continuum hypothesis has a definite but
> unknown truth value. 

Surely this attitude is almost a *definition* of Platonism in math?

> It is this conception which gives a definite
> meaning to the continuum hypothesis in relation to which it is
> a genuine, objective and significant, open problem,

How can it be in any way an objective open problem, unless one is
a Platonist as regards set theory?  I can't see how, otherwise.

> those (like me) who are not platonists in the popular sense of that term.

So in what sense ARE you a Platonist then?
