Horoskop numeryczny na ten tydzień: 3.04, 16.00, (Grodzka) 52. #wykład Paolo Mancosu: In good company? On Hume’s principle and the assignment of numbers to infinite concepts. #blurb: The theory of #numerosities provides a context in which to assign numerosities to infinite sets of natural numbers in such a way as to preserve the part-whole principle, namely if a set A is properly included in B then the numerosity of A is strictly less than the numerosity of B. Numerosities assignments differ from the standard assignment of size provided by #Cantor’s cardinality assignments. In this talk, I generalize some specific worries emerging from the theory of numerosities to a line of thought resulting in what I call a ‘good company’ objection to #Hume’s principle.
