About this episode
Kate Hodesdon (Nancy) gives a talk at the Workshop on Mathematics: Objectivity by Representation (11 November, 2014) titled "Discernibility from a countable perspective". Abstract: In this talk I discuss formal methods for discerning between uncountably many objects with a countable language, building on recent work of James Ladyman, Øystein Linnebo and Richard Pettigrew. In particular, I show how stability theory provides the resources to characterize theories in which this is possible, and discuss the limitations of the stability theoretic approach.
