Are there any universal entities? Or is the world populated only by
particular things? The problem of universals is one of the most
fascinating and enduring topics in the history of metaphysics, with
roots in ancient and medieval philosophy. This collection of new
essays provides an innovative overview of the contemporary debate
on universals. Rather than focusing exclusively on the traditional
opposition between realism and nominalism, the contributors explore
the complexity of the debate and illustrate a broad range of
positions within both the realist and the nominalist camps. Realism
is viewed through the lens of the distinction between constituent
and relational ontologies, while nominalism is reconstructed in
light of the controversy over the notion of trope. The result is a
fresh picture of contemporary metaphysics, in which traditional
strategies of dealing with the problem of universals are both
reaffirmed and called into question.
