On Existence, Inconsistency, and Indispensability
Vol 22, No 1 (2018) • Principia: an international journal of epistemology
Autor: Henrique Antunes
Resumo:
In this paper I sketch some lines of response to Mark Colyvan’s (2008) indispensability arguments for the existence of inconsistent objects, being mainly concerned with the indispens ability of inconsistent mathematical entities. My response will draw heavily on Jody Azzouni’s (2004) deflationary nominalism.
