A first look at the perspectivist approach to forcing

Enviado por foundation em

The nowadays common practice among set-theorists of producing models of set-theory is a very useful tool for set-theoretical practice. Motivated by the construction of generic extensions by means of Boolean-valued models, I intend to present a first look at what I have called perspectivism. The main goal of this talk is to present the background on which this approach was formulated, as well as  to discuss the possible philosophical developments of the work in the near future, given the tools we have in hand. Thus, I will give an overview on what philosophers of science have called perspectivism, propose a possible adaptation to the context of philosophy of set theory, as well as give a quick introduction to forcing, in order to show how perspectivism can be applied in this context.
