A Re-Examination Of The Problem Of Universals, Jimmy Berger
A Re-Examination Of The Problem Of Universals, Jimmy Berger
Senior Projects Spring 2021
My aims in this project are to address what the problem of universals is, to provide a comprehensive account of its major solutions, to evaluate those solutions, and to provide my own conclusions about the problem. My primary thesis is that philosophers have been wrong to look for a universally applicable theory to account for the problem of universals, and instead should accept the profound complexity of reality and develop more modest theories that are applicable in limited domains.
