{"product_id":"the-problem-of-universals-in-early-modern-philosophy-9780190608040","title":"The Problem of Universals in Early Modern Philosophy","description":"The ancient topic of universals was central to scholastic philosophy, which raised the question of whether universals exist as Platonic forms, as instantiated Aristotelian forms, as concepts abstracted from singular things, or as words that have universal signification. It might be thought\u003cbr\u003ethat this question lost its importance after the decline of scholasticism in the modern period. However, the fourteen contributions contained in \u003cem\u003eThe Problem of Univerals in Early Modern Philosophy\u003c\/em\u003e indicate that the issue of universals retained its vitality in modern philosophy. Modern philosophers\u003cbr\u003ein fact were interested in 3 sets of issues concerning universals: (i) issues concerning the ontological status of universals, (ii) issues concerning the psychology of the formation of universal concepts or terms, and (iii) issues concerning the value and use of universal concepts or terms in the\u003cbr\u003eacquisition of knowledge. Chapters in this volume consider the various forms of Platonism, conceptualism and nominalism (and distinctive combinations thereof) that emerged from the consideration of such issues in the work of modern philosophers. Furthermore, this volume covers not only the\u003cbr\u003ecanonical modern figures, namely, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, Hume and Kant, but also more neglected figures such as Pierre Gassendi, Pierre-Sylvain Regis, Nicolas Malebranche, Henry More, Ralph Cudworth and John Norris.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stefano Di Bella\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190608040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStephano Di Bella\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of The History of Philosophy at the University of Milan. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTad Schmaltz\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Michigan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":39929205522547,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_87805542-fe1a-491c-ae05-60b91d68ff5f.jpg?v=1647611308","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-problem-of-universals-in-early-modern-philosophy-9780190608040","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
