Deflationary nominalism offers an ‘easy road’ to nominalism, which does not require any form of reformulation of mathematical discourse, while granting the indispensability of mathematics. Despite the fact that quantification over mathematical objects and relations is indispensable to our best theories of the world, this fact offers no reason to believe in the existence of the corresponding entities. This is because, as Jody Azzouni points out, two kinds of commitment should be distinguished: quantifier commitment and ontological commitment (Azzouni 1997; 2004, p. 127 and pp. 49–122). We incur a quantifier commitment whenever our theories imply existentially quantified statements. But existential quantification, Azzouni insists, is not sufficient for ontological commitment. After all, we often quantify over objects we have no reason to believe exist, such as fictional entities.
