This is a study, in two volumes, of one of the longest-standing
philosophical problems: the problem of universals. In volume I
David Armstrong surveys and criticizes the main approaches and
solutions to the problems that have been canvassed, rejecting the
various forms of nominalism and 'Platonic' realism. In volume II he
develops an important theory of his own, an objective theory of
universals based not on linguistic conventions, but on the actual
and potential findings of natural science. He thus reconciles a
realism about qualities and relations with an empiricist
epistemology. The theory allows, too, for a convincing explanation
of natural laws as relations between these universals.
