Generic structures

Year: 2018

Type: preprint

Abstract: In this article ideas from Kit Fine's theory of arbitrary objects are applied to questions regarding mathematical structuralism. I discuss how sui generic mathematical structures can be viewed as generic systems of mathematical objects, where mathematical objects are conceived of as arbitrary objects in Fine's sense.
