Abstract

Two uses of modal logic to explicate mathematics—due primarily to Hilary Putnam and Charles Parsons—are compared and contrasted. The approaches differ both technically and concerning ontology. Some reasons to push the former approach in the direction of the latter are articulated and discussed.
