Putnam’s indispensability argument was devised as part of this conception. In this paper, I reconstruct and reassess Putnam’s argument for the indispensability of mathematics, and distinguish it from the more familiar, Quinean version of the argument. Although I argue that Putnam’s approach ultimately fails, I develop an alternative way of implementing his form of realism about mathematics that, by using different resources than those Putnam invokes, avoids the difficulties faced by his view. 2018 artículo científico 0495-4548 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=339755528004 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3397/339755528004/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3397/339755528004/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3397/339755528004/339755528004.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3397/339755528004/movil https://doi.org/10.1387/theoria.18473 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3397 THEORIA.
