An Argument for the Existence of Tropes
Erkenntnis 74 (1):69-79 (2011)
Abstract
That there could be ontologically complex concrete particulars is self-evidently true. A reductio may however be formulated which contradicts this truth. In this paper I argue that all of the reasonable ways in which we might refute this reductio will require the existence of at least some tropes.Author's Profile
