The author reviews and summarizes, in as jargon–free way as he is capable of, the form of anti–platonist anti–nominalism he has previously developed in works since the 1980s, and considers what additions and amendments are called for in the light of such recently much–discussed views on the existence and nature of mathematical objects as those known as hyperintensional metaphysics, natural language ontology, and mathematical structuralism.
