The nature of number

The nature of number
(October 10, 2012 at 6:07 am)jonb Wrote: I think I may have distilled my difficulty.
Is a series of all the numbers between two points say 6 to 7 thought of as the same as say an infinity of (to use Cantor) multiples of three? Are these thought of as different categories of series?
I don't think they are the same sort of series.
The sense in which you're using series is still not entirely clear to me. But are these two things equivalent as sets? If we're talking about all the real numbers between 6 and 7 or all the relevant points in such-and-such region of euclidean space, then no, the first set is strictly bigger than the second one.
So these philosophers were all like, "That Kant apply universally!" And then these mathematicians were all like, "Oh yes it Kan!"
