Armstrong on Quantities and Resemblance.
Resemblances obtain not only between objects but between properties.

Resemblances of the latter sort – in particular resemblances between quantitative properties – prove to be the downfall of a well-known theory of universals, namely the one presented by David Armstrong.

All of them fail. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Philosophical Studies is a copyright of Springer, 2007.
