This is a question on a past exam I'm trying to asnwer.
So far I have, and I'm not sure if my understanding is correct yet:
Platonism:
Consider if man-kind became extinct, the statement 1+2=3 will always be able to be recovered.
Formalism:
3 is a consequence of the specific intepretation of to the rule of addition, applied to 1 and 2.
Intuitionism:
The succesor of 1 is 2, so the successor 2 must be 3, and so 1+2=3.
Logicism:
Under a model for a first order theory, a logical consquence of 1+2 is 3.
Thoughts?
Thanks
