Meinongianism and the philosophy of mathematics
Philosophia Mathematica 11 (1):3--15 (2003)
Abstract
This paper articulates Sylvan's theory of mathematical objects as non-existent, by improving (arguably) his treatment of the Characterisation Postulate. It then defends the theory against a number of natural objections, including one according to which the account is just platonism in disguise.Author's Profile
