Re: Mathematics is nothing but an ad hoc discipline

elsiemelsi says...

The australian philosopher colin leslie dean points out that mathematics is
not a rigourous discipline but is no more than an ad hoc sham

3 examples

Colin leslie dean-the first person in 76 years - points out that Godel in
his incompleteness theorem used the ad hoc axiom ie axiom of
reducibility

It seems to me that Colin leslie dean is an idiot. Godel's
theorem has been proved countless times in many different
mathematical frameworks, not just Russell's Principia. Godel's
conclusion clearly has nothing to do with any axiom of reducibility.
