A Plug for Platonism

In a series of sober-sided essays, we have striven to make a plausible case for Realism, in particular as regards mathematics.

However, we are in the Iron Age now -- nay rather, the epoch of plastic -- and arguments do not convince the multitudes.    Accordingly, for the grand public, we offer this slogan:

Platonism: the philosopy with a Thinking Man’s Filter,

and a Smoking Man’s Taste.

I'd walk a mile for a paradox

(This formulation is not entirely original with ourselves, but it has fallen out of copyright, and is thus ready for recycling.)

“To distract my mind from current troubles,

I like to dig into a gritty mystery,

starring those tough-talking, two-fisted Private Eyes,

the lovable Murphy Brothers.”

Murphy on the Mount.
