  • Even if it is partially defensible, it is not clear what Chatton's indivisibilist theory can do.

    Walter Chatton Keele, Rondo 2007

  • However, some of Chatton's direct rebuttals of anti-indivisibilist arguments exhibit low mathematical acumen, and are not worth summarizing here.

    Walter Chatton Keele, Rondo 2007

  • This is a defense of Chatton's indivisibilist stance on the continuum.

    Walter Chatton Keele, Rondo 2007
