Ontological and epistemological dimensions of G del's PlatonismDOI: 10.2298/theo1002041a Keywords: Kurt G del , mathematical platonism , set theory , continuum hypo- thesis , Independence Abstract: Kurt G del is certainly one of the biggest names of logic and mathematics of the last century. Besides that, he is also the most famous proponent of mathematical Platonism. The aim of this work is to investigate different aspects of G del's Platonism as well as arguments he put forward in its support. We shall see that despite the problems Platonism faces, there is a lot to cite that promotes it as the only viable position in the philosophy of mathematics.
