Introduction
This
chapter introduces the topic and subject of the book and explains its
structure, providing a brief summary of each chapter. It explains in what
sense Resemblance Nominalism is Nominalism (not that it denies the existence
of abstract objects, but it denies the existence of universals and tropes),
and relates the Resemblance Nominalism defended and developed in the book to
the views of Rudolf Carnap and H. H. Price.
