Irrealistic Pluralism, Extensionalism, and Existence

Keywords: irrealism; antirealism; extensionalism
Summary/Abstract: This paper argues that any pluralism rooted in noetic irrealism must solve two problems—the “anything goes” challenge and the “consistency” challenge. In order to solve those problems, however, it is argued that no pluralist of this type can be an extensionalist but rather must hold that existence is a (real) property.
