| Abstract | |
Ontology is the area of philosophy concerned with the study of what there is; what constitutes reality. But what is the best method for investigating what there is? When are we allowed to say that something exists or not? These are questions that meta-ontology will try to answer. In this way, the ontology of mathematical objects will seek to study the existence of mathematical objects, while metaontology will tell us how this study can be carried out and what conclusions we can draw from it. This dissertation aims to introduce these debates and investigate meta-ontologies that argue that through language we can have direct answers to the questions posed by the ontology of mathematics. In other words, the study will focus on investigating the ways in which metaontology is used contemporaneously to resolve ontological questions such as "do numbers exist? (AU) | |
