(Long story short: I don't buy the arguments against trope nominalism -- I don't think there are any serious problems that can't be handled by primitive resemblance -- and I think it is simpler and does all the work an Aristotelian theory of universals would. An Aristotelian theory needs tropes anyway [unless you go the Armstrong route], and I think one can just "cut out" the universals without any harm. Obviously that's no defense but it's basically the line of thought that's persuaded me. But hopefully more on this in the future!)awatkins909https://www.blogger.com/profile/04272494240109130737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375330549366725595.post-27233112911728317682016-02-02T19:39:37.770-08:002016-02-02T19:39:37.770-08:00Cool.

I just started a philosophy of mathematics course, so I'll be taking you up on the first paper.<br /><br />btw, did you ever give an account anywhere on how you arrived at trope nominalism?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
