Taxonomy for Logic and Philosophy of Mathematics

David Chalmers and David Bourget are setting up a new online resource for papers in philosophy, for which they’re designing a taxonomy of philosophical topics to be used for classifying papers in the database. David asks

For now, I’m calling for feedback from the philosophical community, either via e-mail or via comments on this blog. Especially valuable will be thoughts on categories that we’ve missed, on ways to structure categories that don’t yet have much structure, and on better ways of structuring things in tricky cases.

Please post responses at Dave’s blog. The logic and philosophy of math part of the taxonomy right now looks like this:
