Most-cited papers in Philosophia Mathematica

Why Do We Prove Theorems?

Yehuda Rav · 1 Feb 1999

Ordinary mathematical proofs—to be distinguished from formal derivations—are the locus of mathematical knowledge. Their epistemic content goes way beyond what is summarised in the form of theorems. Objections are raised against the formalist thesis that every mainstream informal proof can be formalised in some first-order formal system. Foundationalism is at the heart of Hilbert's program…

The Identity Problem for Realist Structuralism

Jukka Keränen · 1 Oct 2001

According to realist structuralism, mathematical objects are places in abstract structures. We argue that in spite of its many attractions, realist structuralism must be rejected. For, first, mathematical structures typically contain intra-structurally indiscernible places. Second, any account of place-identity available to the realist structuralist entails that intra-structurally indiscernible places are identical. Since for her mathematical…

The Explanatory Power of Phase Spaces

Aidan Lyon, Mark Colyvan · 8 Aug 2007

David Malament argued that Hartry Field's nominalisation program is unlikely to be able to deal with non-space-time theories such as phase-space theories. We give a specific example of such a phase-space theory and argue that this presentation of the theory delivers explanations that are not available in the classical presentation of the theory. This suggests…

Criteria of Identity and Structuralist Ontology

Hannes Leitgeb, James Ladyman · 20 Sep 2007

In discussions about whether the Principle of the Identity of Indiscernibles is compatible with structuralist ontologies of mathematics, it is usually assumed that individual objects are subject to criteria of identity which somehow account for the identity of the individuals. Much of this debate concerns structures that admit of non-trivial automorphisms. We consider cases from…

Philosophia Mathematica template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Philosophia Mathematica format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Philosophia Mathematica template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Oxford University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Philosophia Mathematica use?
Philosophia Mathematica uses Author–year (OUP) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Philosophia Mathematica, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Philosophia Mathematica?
No. DocuGuru generates the oup-authoring-template LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Oxford University Press-ready Philosophia Mathematica document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Philosophia Mathematica template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Philosophia Mathematica format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Philosophia Mathematica?
Philosophia Mathematica is a multidisciplinary journal published by Oxford University Press. DocuGuru's Philosophia Mathematica template matches Oxford University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Philosophia Mathematica PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Philosophia Mathematica template (the oup-authoring-template class) that is ready to submit to Oxford University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Philosophia Mathematica template cost?
You can start writing in the Philosophia Mathematica template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Philosophia Mathematica PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
