• Resumen

  • In his stimulating new book The Construction of Logical Space, Agustín Rayo offers a new account of mathematics, which he calls �Trivialist Platonism�. In this article, we take issue with Rayo�s case for Trivialist Platonism and his claim that the view overcomes Benacerraf�s dilemma. Our conclusion is that Rayo has not shown that Trivialist Platonism has any advantage over nominalism.
