ZF-Class Nominalism and the Küng-Armstrong Trilemma

Abstract

This paper will examine the Küng-Armstrong trilemma against Class Nominalism. We will see that combining Class Nominalism and Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory (ZF) can provide us with a sophisticated version of Class Nominalism, namely ZF-Class Nominalism, which successfully addresses the objection and leads to a moderate version of ineffabilism about the putative set-membership relation.
