Abstract

The classical theist is seen to have a number of realist and anti-realist options open to him in meeting the challenge of indispensability arguments for Platonism. The most plausible response will involve challenging, with free logicians, neo-Meinongians, and neutralists, the neo-Quinean criterion of ontological commitment which lies at the heart of indispensability arguments. Beyond that the theist’s options are wide open for filling out his account with insights appropriated from a diversity of perspectives.
