Bøger af D. M. (University of Sydney) Armstrong

In this important study D. M. Armstrong offers a comprehensive system of analytical metaphysics that synthesises but also develops his thinking over the last twenty years. His comprehensive account of the most general features of reality, argued from a distinctive philosophical perspective, will appeal to a wide readership in analytical philosophy.

In a clear, even-handed and non-technical discussion D. M. Armstrong makes a compelling case for truthmaking and its importance in philosophy. This book, first published in 2004, marks a significant contribution to the debate and will be of interest to a wide range of readers working in analytical philosophy.

This is a study, in two volumes, of one of the longest standing philosophical problems: the problem of universals. In volume II he develops an important theory of his own, an objective theory of universals based not on linguistic conventions, but on the actual and potential findings of natural science.
