| contents | Putnam and contemporary fictionalism Concha Martínez Vidal Filosofía Yablo Field Putnam ontology fictionalism Putnam rejects having argued in the terms of the argument known in the literature as “the Quine-Putnam indispensability argument”. He considers that mathematics contribution to physics does not have to be interpreted in platonist terms but in his favorite modal variety (Putnam 1975; Putnam 2012). The purpose of this paper is to consider Putnam’s acknowledged argument and philosophical position against contemporary so called in the literature ‘fictionalist’ views about applied mathematics. The conclusion will be that the account of the applicability of mathematics that stems from Putnam‘s acknowledged argument can be assimilated to so-called ‘fictionalist’ views about applied mathematics. 2018 artículo científico 0495-4548 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=339755528002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3397/339755528002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3397/339755528002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3397/339755528002/339755528002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3397/339755528002/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3397 THEORIA.
