Description
Book SynopsisThings are particulars and their qualities are universals, but do universals have an existence that is distinct from that of particular things? And what is their nature if they do? In Universals J.P. Moreland addresses these questions, in particular those issues that have been a crucial part of the emergence of contemporary analytic ontology.
Trade Review"A comprehensive treatment of the problem of universals from both an historical and present-day perspective, surveying all of the leading approaches and portraying their strengths and weaknesses in an even-handed way. Exposition and arguments are clear and succinct. A worthy contribution to the literature in its topic." E.J. Lowe, Department of Philosophy, University of Durham
