A condensed version of this paper was read (under the title ‘Model-theoretic Realism’) as a contribution to the 1979 Congress for Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science in Hannover, and a later revision appeared as the first chapter of my thesis in philosophy (Chicago 1981). I would like to thank Bob Tragesser, Witek Marek and Menachem Magidor for their interest in these earlier versions, and Manley Thompson, Leonard Linsky and Bill Tait for their helpful criticisms and supervision of the thesis.
