Abstract

In this chapter we continue our survey of responses to Benacerraf's dilemma and discuss those that in § 3.3, following Hale and Wright, we have classified as conservative. Again, we will present four of them: Hale's and Wright's neo-logicism; Linsky's and Zalta's "Object Theory"; Shapiro's ante rem non-eliminative structuralism; and Parsons' version of non-eliminative structuralism.
