nominalistically

This shows that, mathematically, mereology does indeed have all the resourses to stand as a robust and yet nominalistically acceptable alternative to set theory, the real source of difference being the attitude towards the nature of singletons (as already emphasized by Leśniewski 1916 and eventually clarified by Lewis 1991).

Or, second, one might argue that fictionalism is not a nominalistically acceptable view because formulations of it invariably involve tacit reference to various kinds of abstract objects, such as sentence types, or stories, or possible worlds (for responses to this, see Field (1989), Balaguer (1998a), and Rosen (2001)).

Hellman needs some alternative, nominalistically acceptable interpretation of this talk about collections and relations.

Plural Quantification Linnebo, Øystein 2008

Field (1989, 14-20) accepts the cogency of this type of inference to the best explanation but he argued (Field 1980) that platonist mathematics could be replaced by a nominalistically acceptable theory that was sufficient for the development of classical mechanics.

To be nominalistically acceptable this account of possible worlds would need to be accompanied by a nominalistically acceptable treatment of sets and numbers.

Alternatively, fictionalists could commit themselves to more concrete, “nominalistically respectable” fictions only: the relevant fictions or theories of possible worlds might be conceived of only as ink-marks on pieces of paper, or information states inside brains, or perhaps as some amalgam of these and other actual, concrete ontology.

(nominalistically respectable) conclusions easier than it might otherwise have been.

Realism Miller, Alexander 2005

1913 Lesniewski, later Tarski's dissertation advisor, had already advanced an indexical nominalistically inspired solutions of the Liar in his paper A Critique of the Logical Principle of the Excluded Middle (see Betti 2004).

Paradoxes and Contemporary Logic Cantini, Andrea 2007

“analyze away” apparent references to types by offering translations that are apparently type-free, and otherwise nominalistically acceptable.
