A chapter in Handbook of the History and Philosophy of Mathematical Practice, 2024, pp 2365-2382 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter follows the philosophical line of mathematical pluralism to make two points: that if there is a view that mathematics is a basis for sciences including social sciences and if there is a pluralism in mathematics, then this implies that the only way to model society is a pluralist one. Along the way to this conclusion, we argue why mathematical logic is a good part of mathematics to use in modeling and, in particular, explain the use of set theory in this context.
