In this short text, a distinguished philosopher turns his attention
to one of the oldest and most fundamental philosophical problems of
all: How it is that we are able to sort and classify different
things as being of the same natural class? Professor Armstrong
carefully sets out six major theories?ancient, modern, and
contemporary?and assesses the strengths and weaknesses of each.
Recognizing that there are no final victories or defeats in
metaphysics, Armstrong nonetheless defends a traditional account of
universals as the most satisfactory theory we have.This study is
written for advanced students, but as Armstrong goes considerably
beyond his earlier work on this topic, it will interest
professional scholars as well. Carefully plotted and clearly
written, Universals is both a paradigm of exposition and a case
study on the value of careful analysis of fundamental issues in
philosophy.
