New directions for nominalist philosophers of mathematics
The present paper will argue that, for too long, many nominalists have concentrated their researches on the question of whether one could make sense of applications of mathematics (especially in science) without presupposing the existence of mathematical objects. This was, no doubt, due to the enormous influence of Quine's "Indispensability Argument", which challenged the nominalist to come up with an explanation of how science could be done with…

First of all, I wish to indicate that I am concerned with only one of two closely related problems raised by the paradoxes. Alfred Tarski once remarked: appeara…
