Platonism about Abstracta
Philosophia Christi 23 (1):141-158 (2021)
Abstract
I present a new argument to the effect that platonism about abstract entities undermines metaphysical naturalism and provides some support to theism. I further suggest that there are ways of extending this line of reasoning to point toward one or another more specific varieties of Christian theism.Author's Profile
