Penelope Maddy is a UCI Distinguished Professor of Logic and Philosophy of Science and of Mathematics at the University of California, Irvine. She is well-known for her influential work in the philosophy of mathematics, where she has worked on realism and naturalism. Maddy received her Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1979. Her early work, culminating in Realism in Mathematics, she tried to defend Kurt Gödel's position that mathematics is a true description of a mind-independent realm that we can access through our intuition. However, she suggested that some mathematical entities are in fact concrete, unlike, notably, Gödel, who assumed all mathematical objects are abstract. She suggested that sets can be causally efficacious, and in fact share all the causal and spatiotemporal properties of their elements.
