This book offers a detailed defense of a metaphysics of Platonic
universals and a conception of particular objects that is coherent
with said metaphysics. The work discusses all the main alternatives
in metaphysics of properties and tries to show why universals are
the entities that best satisfy the theoretical roles required for a
property. The work also explains the advantages of Platonic over
Aristotelian universals in the metaphysics of modality and natural
laws. Moreover, it is argued that only Platonic universals are
coherent with the grounding profile required for universals. The
traditional objections against Platonism are discussed and
answered. The third part of the book, finally, offers a conception
of particular objects as nuclear bundles of tropes that is coherent
with the Platonic ontology of universals. This book is of interest
to anyone that wants to understand the current -and intricate-
debate in metaphysics of properties and its incidence in many other
areas in philosophy.
