Exposing the Roots of Constructivism: Nominalism and the Ontology of Knowledge
My newest academic book has been published by Lexington. I examine the prospects of nominalism (trope, austere, and metalinguistic) to be able to preserve the qualities of reality. However, I argue that it cannot preserve them, and so we will not be able to have any knowledge (& we wouldn’t even exist).
I then apply my findings to a number of disciplines, such as science, ethics, religion, and several other disciplines.
Yet, surely we do know many things. Since that is so, there must be a different ontology that is true other than nominalism. I argue instead for a type of Platonic universals.
The book is a culmination and extension of my many essays and presentations on nominalism.
