Ep 33 do mathematical objects exist dr jody azzouni
Education
He received his bachelor's degree and master's degree from New York University and his PhD from the City University of New York.
Career and philosophical positions
Azzouni is currently working on the philosophy of mathematics (he holds a degree in mathematics), science, logic, language and in areas of metaphysics, epistemology, and aesthetics. He acknowledges, as do many of his peers, a debt to the renowned philosopher, Willard Van Orman Quine. Azzouni is of the nominalist bent and has centered much of his philosophical efforts around defending nominalism.
One of his most distinctive positions is the as yet controversial claim that mathematical objects don't exist.
Other work
In addition to his philosophical endeavors, Azzouni has published numerous short stories. He has written a book of poetry entitled The Lust For Blueprints.
