 Platonists have offered numerous responses to this argument. Probably the most common strategy has been to reject (A), i.e., to argue that platonists can in fact defend the claim that there is a unique sequence that stands out as the sequence of natural numbers. This strategy has been pursued in different ways by, e.g., Resnik (1997), Shapiro (1997), Parsons (1990), and Linsky and Zalta (1995). Moreover, Balaguer (1998a) argues that even if (A) is true, it doesn’t matter, because (B) is false: platonists can simply admit that there are numerous sequences that satisfy our arithmetical theories and that it may be that none of them stands out as the one and only sequence of natural numbers. There is no widespread agreement on the status of these platonistic responses, and so, as is the case with the epistemological argument, it would be extremely controversial, if not downright implausible, to claim that the multiple-reductions argument refutes platonism.
