Abstract
AbstractIn a similar vein to the themes of the previous chapter, some have charged isomorphism invariance with the absoluteness objection. The worry here is that the set-theoretic notions required to articulate isomorphism invariance are not absolute. To better understand this worry, the chapter first explores its possible motivations. First, there are meaning-theoretic motivations. Second, there are motivations stemming from anti-realism about set theory. Finally, there are motivations from the thought that logic and mathematics should be independent. Each one is taken in turn and found to be unconvincing. Isomorphism invariance survives the absoluteness objection.
