Higher-order logic may be unintelligible, but it isn't set theory [Hodes]

Identity is a level one relation with a second-order definition [Hodes]

6. Mathematics / C. Sources of Mathematics / 1. Mathematical Platonism / a. For mathematical platonism
It is claimed that numbers are objects which essentially represent cardinality quantifiers [Hodes]
Numerical terms can't really stand for quantifiers, because that would make them first-level [Hodes]

Talk of mirror images is 'encoded fictions' about real facts [Hodes]
