Abstract
In the previous chapter we presented what we take to be the most serious challenges to the program of the Hilbertian instrumentalist. In this chapter we shall seek both to deepen our understanding of and develop (at least in outline) a response to these challenges.

Notes
Somewhat later, Brouwer made essentially the same objection (cf. Brouwer [1912], p. 71).
An objection similar to our argument against P(2) may be found in Steiner [1975], p. 141).
