Philosophy

Articles on philosophy covering a range of subjects.

Articles on political philosophy and philosophy of mind are organised into separate collections. Some articles on ethics may follow, but not just yet.

The subject of universals has a long history in metaphysical enquiry, going at least as far back as Plato and Aristotle. The article presented here on universals and generalities outlines and considers the arguments of two rather more recent philosophers, Bertrand Russell and Peter Strawson.
