Unconventional Conventionalism

Conventionalism intends to reconcile empiricism with our knowledge of the necessary certainties of logic and mathematics. I will argue that this story of conventionalism as told by A.J. Ayer, accords with Ferdinand de Saussure's work in structural linguistics, in that these systems emerge from similar intentions and share the same implications. This resemblance supports my understanding of conventionalism as a form of structuralism, which provides an overarching methodology that defends conventionalism against the relevant objections.
