Originally published in 1992. The history of Western philosophy can
be seen as a battle between those that insist that the "physical
universe" exists and those would claim that there is a much larger
"world" which contains atemporal and nonspatial things as well. The
central part of this book, and the battle, concerns the existence
of universals. Starting with the mediaeval definition of the issue
found in Porphry and Boethius, the author then considers modern and
contemporary versions of the battle. He concludes that what is at
stake between naturalists and ontologists is the existence and
nature of a number of important categories, like structures,
relations, sets, numbers and so on.
