By careful use of Ω, we can rescue Georg Cantor’s 1899 “proof” sketch of the Well-Ordering Theorem (being generous, considering his declining health) by taking the contrapositive of his suggestion and adding Zermelo’s choice function, resulting in a concise and uncomplicated proof of the Well-Ordering Theorem.展开更多

I will stress that these diverse conceptions are mainly formulated in the context of Poincar6＇s controversies in opposition to logicism, to formalism, and in the context of Poincar6＇s very peculiar conventionalism. I will try to demonstrate that, in each case, Poincar~ comes close to a specific tradition （Kant, of course, but also Leibniz and Peirce）.展开更多
