Keywords: Quine; Colyvan; indispensability; realism; objects; truth; double-think;
Summary/Abstract: Amending Mark Colyvan's views, I develop a Quinean view of the indispensability of abstract objects, according to which the indispensability of objects does not extend beyond the truth of existential claims involving them, conditional upon the truth of the theory positing those objects.
