9. Objects / A. Existence of Objects / 3. Objects in Thought

10796	If objects are thoughts, aren't we back to psychologism? [Marcus (Barcan)]
	Full Idea: If objects are thoughts, aren't we back to psychologism?
	From: Ruth Barcan Marcus (Nominalism and Substitutional Quantifiers [1978], p.166)
	A reaction: Personally I don't think that would be the end of the world, but Fregeans go into paroxyms at the mention of 'psychology', because they fear that it destroys objectivity. That may be because they haven't understood thought properly.
