The author imagines a discussion of existence in mathematics taking place between a mathematician and a philosopher. They start with the axiom of choice but take on board also arithmetic and ordered pairs (where on p. 21 the philosopher does not trouble to look up the views of W. V. O. Quine) in contexts such as (\(\epsilon\),\(\delta\)) definitions in analysis.
