Synopsis:
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."
About the Author: D. W. Mertz is director of the Center for Academic Development, adjunct assistant professor of philosophy, and senior lecturer in mathematics at the University of Missouri, St. Louis.
