Beschreibung:
This is a study, in two volumes, of one of the longest-standing philosophical problems: the problem of universals. In volume II he develops an important theory of his own, an objective theory of universals based not on linguistic conventions, but on actual and potential findings on natural science.

Acceptance of conjunctive universals; 16. The identification of universals; 17. Different semantic correlations between predicates and universals; 18. Properties; 19. Relations; Part VI. The Analysis of Resemblance: 20. The resemblance of particulars; 21. The resemblance of universals (I): criticism of received accounts; 22.
