Abstract

Despite the alleged roles played by structures, substances, and facts in mathematical and metaphysical theorizing, in this paper I provide a strategy to dispense with them. It is argued that one need not be committed to the existence of these posits nor with the metaphysically inflationary interpretations that support them. An alternative, deflationary approach is then sketched.

抛开事实、物质和结构

尽管结构、物质和事实在数学和形而上学的理论化中扮演着所谓的角色，但在本文中，我提供了一种摒弃它们的策略。有人认为，人们不需要致力于这些假设的存在，也不需要形而上学的暴胀解释来支持它们。然后概述了另一种通缩方法。

期刊介绍： Since its inauguration in 1964, the American Philosophical Quarterly (APQ) has established itself as one of the principal English vehicles for the publication of scholarly work in philosophy. The whole of each issue—printed in a large-page, double-column format—is given to substantial articles; from time to time there are also "state of the art" surveys of recent work on particular topics. The editorial policy is to publish work of high quality, regardless of the school of thought from which it derives.
