Are necessary truths ultimately grounded in induction? For example truths of mathematics are said to be necessary, yet don't they make generalizations about an infinite set of numbers that are not verifiable; wouldn't this be considered induction? And if we ground our necessary truths on axioms, aren't these axioms theorems that a community has agreed to as being true and are not objectively true? Thanks for your answer, John
