    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.All modal discourse—including anti-realist positions—presupposes some framework making modal truths determinate, not just 'assumptions.'
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Rejecting robust realism doesn't dissolve the problem; it relocates metaphysical burden without eliminating disputed commitments.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The charge of presupposition is performatively self-undermining: the critique itself relies on modal and logical framework assumptions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Conceptualism and fictionalism offer competing frameworks for modality that don't presuppose robust realist modal ontology.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Assuming contested metaphysics without argument begs the question against legitimate rival modal frameworks.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
