The Problem of Universals in Contemporary Philosophy
Are there any universal entities? Or is the world populated only by particular things? The problem of universals is one of the most fascinating and enduring topics in the history of metaphysics, with roots in ancient and medieval philosophy. This collection of new essays provides an innovative overview of the contemporary debate on universals. Rather than focusing exclusively on the traditional opposition between realism and nominalism, the contr…

Aristotle’s Constituent Ontology
In both Aristotle and Nicholas Wolterstorff we meet with a distinction between two styles of metaphysical explanation. They use different language in setting out the distinction. Wolterstorff speaks of relational and constituent ontologies; whereas Aristotle tells us that we can make the substance of sensible particulars either something that exists ‘‘apart from the sensible objects’’ or something that is ‘‘immanent in them’’ (994a15–16); but the…

The Oxford Handbook of Metaphysics
The Oxford Handbook of Metaphysics offers an authoritative and compelling guide to this diverse and fertile field of philosophy. Twenty-four of the world's most distinguished specialists provide broad articles about what kinds of things there are, in what ways they exist, and how they relate to each other. They give the latest word on such topics as identity, modality, time, causation, persons and minds, freedom, and vagueness. This book's breadt…

Aristotle on the Transcendentals
n this paper, I want to examine two claims found in Aristotle's Metaphysics: (A) the claim that notions like being and unity do not constitute genera and (B) the claim that such notions are not univocally predicable of all things. I want, in particular, to consider the view (expressed by Porphyry, William of Ockham, and J. L. Ackrill) that (A) entails (B). I shall argue that the alleged entailment cannot hold since while (A) is true, (B) is false
