I begin by explicating this thesis of acquaintance with universals. I then show how it solves some familiar problems. After that I reply to the objection that something weaker will do such as David Lewis' distinction between natural and artificial classes of possibilia. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Metaphysica, 18(1), p. 1-13 | Publisher: | Walter de Gruyter GmbH | Place of Publication: | Germany | ISSN: | 1874-6373 1437-2053 |
