Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In this book D. W. Mertz applies the rules and systems of mathematics and logic to instance ontology, or particularism-the doctrine that asserts the individuality of properties and relations. He surveys the history of instance ontology in writings from ancient times to the present, offers a lucid argument for its validity and extraordinary problem-solving capacities, and associates it with a version of the realist position he calls "moderate realism."
