Hartry Field is a prominent philosopher known for his work in the philosophy of mathematics, logic, and the philosophy of language. He is best known for his development of a view called "nominalism," which is the idea that abstract objects, such as numbers, do not exist in any literal sense. Instead, Field argues that mathematical statements can be understood in a way that does not commit one to the existence of abstract entities.
