 The latter view (today often referred to as “creationism”) fits well into a general ontology of abstract artefacts (like, for instance, literary and other works of fiction as well as non-fictional cultural entities) and does justice to the intuition that fictitious objects as well as the works in which they occur are literally brought into being through human acts of creation. However, it is objected against creationism that the creation of an abstract object is something deeply mysterious.
