I think this is an interesting question. I know some friends who know a lot more about philosophy than I do on social media. A lot of people who aren’t as well-read in philosophy only come across notions of what the ontology of what things like logic and mathematics might be through Platonism. I’m not as familiar with them myself, yet I’m aware there is a much wider variety of options for what constitutes the ontology of logic to explore beyond Platonism. I haven’t read Plato, and say I couldn’t rightly say what if anything is wrong with it. Yet learning about things like the ontology of logic has led me to think more recent and obscure options to explain such things than the Platonic realm are better. I don’t think they’re the kind of views someone with only a cursory understanding of academic philosophy would have heard of. I’ve been saying ‘things like the ontology of logic’, because I’ve actually thought more specifically about the ontology of mathematics. I’ve also talked to some friends who know much more than me about maths, logic, and philosophy. I would suggest looking into the following fields for a much greener and greater garden of potential answers to your question:
Philosophy of Mathematics
Metamathematics
Philosophy of Mind
Philosophy of Logic
I will also ask my friends what answers they would give to this question, and then I will report them back here.
