From foundations to applications: reverse mathematics and philosophy

Reverse mathematics is a branch of mathematical logic dedicated to determining the minimal set existence principles necessary and sufficient to derive ordinary mathematical theorems about concrete structures like the real line. Since the mid-1970s, reverse mathematics has developed a systematic classification of the strength of theorems in areas of mathematics ranging from real and complex analysis to infinitary combinatorics. This essay will place reverse mathematics in its historical and philosophical context, and reveal its relevance to central issues in the philosophy of mathematics, from the foundational programmes of Hilbert and Brouwer to contemporary debates about realism, determinacy, and applicability of mathematics. In doing so, it will discuss the role of computability theory in measuring the strength of set existence principles, as well as related questions about idealisation when these principles are applied in the physical sciences and in philosophy.
