| dc.description.abstract | In his "Indispensability arguments in mathematics", Putnam rejects having argued in the terms of the argument known in the literature as "the Quine-Putnam indispensability argument". He considers that mathematics contribution to physics does not have to be interpreted in platonist terms but in his favorite modal variety (Putnam 1975; Putnam 2012). The purpose of this paper is to consider Putnam's acknowledged argument and philosophical position against contemporary so called in the literature 'fictionalist' views about applied mathematics. The conclusion will be that the account of the applicability of mathematics that stems from Putnam's acknowledged argument can be assimilated in many aspects to so-called 'fictionalist' views about applied mathematics. | gl |
| dc.description.abstract | Putnam rechaza haber suscrito el argumento conocido como «argumento de la indispensabilidad de Quine y Putnam». Considera que la contribución de la matemática a la física no tiene por qué interpretarse en términos platónicos sino en términos modales (Putnam 1975; Putnam 2012). En este trabajo se contrapone el argumento que Putnam sostiene haber defendido—y la posición filosófica que lo sustenta—, a ciertas concepciones ficcionalistas contemporáneas de la matemática aplicada. De ese análisis se concluye que la concepción de la aplicabilidad de la matemática que subyace a la propuesta de Putnam coincide en muchos aspectos con las concepciones ficcionalistas analizadas. | gl |
