On Field’s Epistemological Argument Against Platonism
Studia Logica 96 (2):141-147 (2010)
Abstract
Hartry Field's formulation of an epistemological argument against platonism is only valid if knowledge is constrained by a causal clause. Contrary to recent claims (e.g. in Liggins (2006), Liggins (2010)), Field's argument therefore fails the very same criterion usually taken to discredit Benacerraf's earlier version.Author's Profile
