According to Platonists, entities such as numbers, sets,
propositions and properties are abstract objects. But abstract
objects lack causal powers and a location in space and time, so how
we could ever come to know of them? Cheyne presents a systematic
and detailed account of this epistemological objection to the
Platonist doctrine that abstract objects exist and can be known.
Since mathematics has such a central role in the acquisition of
scientific knowledge, he concentrates on mathematical Platonism. He
also concentrates on our knowledge of what exists, and argues for a
causal constraint on such existential knowledge. Finally, he
exposes the weaknesses of recent attempts by Platonists to account
for our supposed Platonic knowledge.
