If-Thenism : A nominalistic account of talk about abstracta?

Felka, Katharina (2017). If-Thenism : A nominalistic account of talk about abstracta? Australasian Philosophical Review, 1(2):179-183.

Abstract

According to Yablo, in uttering sentences that imply the existence of abstract objects, we do not assert their literal content. Instead, we only make a weaker conditional claim that does not have the controversial implication. In this commentary I argue that the conditional claims Yablo suggests we are making are true only if abstract objects exist and, thus, also carry the controversial implication.
