摘要

根据形式主义，数学家关心的不是神秘的形而上学实体，而是数学符号。结果，数学实体变成了简单的可感知的符号。然而，这一举动所要付出的代价似乎太高了，因为数学，目前被认为是科学的女王，原来是一个无聊的游戏。这就是为什么把数字和所有数学实体仅仅看作符号似乎是荒谬的。我们这篇论文的目的是要说明，为什么一些哲学家和数学家会认为，数学术语在适当的意义上是指什么都没有的，而数学命题没有真正的内容。同时，我们想解释形式主义是如何帮助克服传统的科学概念的。

The Emergence of (Instrumental) Formalism and a New Conception of Science

According to formalism, a mathematician is not concerned with mysterious metaphysical entities but with mathematical symbols. As a result, mathematical entities become simply sensible signs. However, the price that has to be paid for this move seems to be too high, for mathematics, at present considered to be the queen of sciences, turns out to be a to a contentless game. That is why it seems absurd to regard numbers and all mathematical entities as mere symbols. The aim of our paper is to show the reasons that have led some philosophers and mathematicians to adopt the view that mathematical terms in the proper sense refer to nothing and mathematical propositions have no real content. At the same time we want to explain how formalism helped to overcome the traditional concept of science.

期刊介绍： Studia Neoaristotelica is a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal devoted to the promotion of Aristotelian philosophy broadly conceived, drawing on the rich legacy of the scholastic tradition and contemporary analytical metaphysics. Special emphasis is placed on the most advanced forms of scholastic thought that emerged during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Our vision is to work toward a philosophical synthesis of analytic and scholastic methods and ideas, providing a contribution to Christian philosophy as well as wider secular thought. The journal is published by Editiones Scholasticae and the University of South Bohemia Faculty of Theology.
