Paper Summary:
The paper looks at the theories of George Lakoff and Rafael Nunez, as well as those of Keith Devlin in order to explore if there are really any universal truths in maths. Set off by an excerpt from Robert Sawyer's novel "Computing God," the paper theorizes that there really are not any universal truths, at least none that can be defined until all forms of life are themselves defined. The paper points out that this is neither the quantification nor the metaphor and symbolism that math requires and uses.More papers on Universal Truths in Math:
