Abstract

Abstract The independence phenomenon in set theory, while pervasive, can be partially addressed through the use of large cardinal axioms. A commonly assumed idea is that large cardinal axioms are species of maximality principles. In this paper I question this claim. I show that there is a kind of maximality (namely absoluteness) on which large cardinal axioms come out as restrictive relative to a formal notion of restrictiveness. Within this framework, I argue that large cardinal axioms can still play many of their usual foundational roles.
大基数公理是限制性的吗?
摘要集合论中的独立性现象虽然普遍存在,但可以通过使用大基数公理来部分地解决。一个普遍假设的想法是,大基本公理是极大性原则的一种。在本文中,我对这种说法提出了质疑。我证明了存在一种极大性(即绝对性),在此基础上,相对于限制性的正式概念,大的基本公理是限制性的。在这个框架内,我认为大基本公理仍然可以发挥许多通常的基础作用。
