R. Scott Smith

Nominalism and the Ontology of Knowledge

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Though nominalism is a major presupposition in academia and western society, R. Scott Smith shows that nominalism undermines all knowledge whatsoever. In light of the many clear examples of knowledge that we do have, nominalism should be replaced by a realist view of properties.
