الإنجليزية - الإنجليزية
A doctrine that universals do not have an existence except as names for classes of concrete objects
belief that so-called universals are nothing more than verbal labels or mental habits that are used to denote classes of experience Meaning lies in particular; specially important for language and lit theory (cf relativism and value theory)
(philosophy) the doctrine that the various objects labeled by the same term have nothing in common but their name
the view that the only feature that particulars falling under the same general term have in common is that they are covered by the same term Nominalism is opposed to realism, for which universals are required to explain how general terms apply to different particulars For nominalism, language, rather than independent reality, underlies perceived likeness Many philosophers are attracted to the ontological austerity of nominalism, but problems remain concerning how language, especially predication, works on nominalist principles
The principles or philosophy of the Nominalists
Strictly speaking, the theory of knowledge opposed to realism The term is, however, still used occasionally to refer to the via moderna See pp 34-5
The principle that an obligation to pay a particular sum of money is fixed and does not change even if the purchasing power or foreign exchange rate of the money does change

The view that only particulars are real, and that universals (see entry) are only the observable likenesses among the particulars of sense experience
