I defend it from charges of mysticism and theology, arguing instead that conceptual platonism is problematic for a more familiar reason…

He claims that this strategy can be effected by two distinct means, one of which is a list of instructions for metaphysicians, which he argues suffice to give the new quantifier a meaning that carves nature at the joints. I argue that these instructions will not allow some…
