Course Overview

The problem of universals is an issue that has been much discussed in metaphysics. Debates are still going on in contemporary times. Realists and nominalists have proposed various arguments, and have developed their own systemized philosophical theories to deal with the problem. This course aims to discuss these arguments and philosophical systems by reading the works of such metaphysicians as D.M. Armstrong.
