That sounds interesting, but it’s paywalled. Can anyone send me a copy?
Just sent it to you.
There are also preprint versions around, I’ll link to one
Thanks! I think that’s actually a really good paper. I’m glad to see philosophers finally understanding the points being made about ETCS by category theorists, and I finally feel like I have some feeling for why some philosophers find it less convincing of a foundation than ZFC.
So how would HoTT fare according to their three criteria: logical autonomy, conceptual autonomy, and justificatory autonomy? I guess for them it would hinge on “whether the objects for a foundation of mathematics can or indeed should be specified” only up to equivalence.
Ladyman and Presnell take on the autonomy of HoTT here claiming that:
the presentation of HoTT given in the HoTT Book is not autonomous since it explicitly depends upon other fields of mathematics, in particular homotopy theory.
They then argue that a reformulation avoids this debt. I think they were misled by talk of paths.
Added link to preprint version (pdf) of Linnebo and Pettigrew’s paper.
