8. Modes of Existence / E. Nominalism / 1. Nominalism / a. Nominalism

18957	Nominalism only makes sense if it is materialist [Putnam]
	Full Idea: Nominalists must at heart be materialists, or so it seems to me: otherwise their scruples are unintelligible.
	From: Hilary Putnam (Philosophy of Logic [1971], Ch.5)
	A reaction: This is modern nominalism - the rejection of abstract objects. I largely plead guilty to both charges.
