This
chapter argues against a truthmaker version of so-called Ostrich Nominalism,
according to which the truthmaker of any sentences like ‘a
is F’ is just a. It also argues that the proper
understanding of the Problem of Universals is what is called the Many
over One (How can a single particular have many properties?) rather
than the traditional One over Many (How can many particulars have the
same property?). It is also argued that the properties with which
Resemblance Nominalism is concerned as a solution to the Problem of
Universals are sparse, lowest determinate properties. Keywords:determinates,
