Alien individuals, alien universals, and armstrong'scombinatorial theory of possibility
Southern Journal of Philosophy 39 (4):575-593 (2001)
| Abstract | Armstrong's combinatorialism, in his own words, is the following project: "My central metaphysical hypothesis is that all there is is the world of space and time. It is this world which is to supply the actual elements for the totality of combinations. So what is proposed is a Naturalistic form of a combinatorial theory."2 Armstrong calls his central hypothesis "Naturalism." He intends his well−known theory of universals to satisfy this thesis. He now attempts to give a naturalistic theory of modality. | |||||||||
