Join George and John as they discuss and debate different philosophical ideas. Today they will be looking into Universals and Particulars.
We understand particulars to be the specific things that occupy space around us, and each particular will possess specific qualities we refer to as universals. However what is the true nature of universals and do they exists in their own right as something distinct from a particular. Realism is the belief that universals do exist whereas Nominalism claims that only particulars exist. In this video the debate between Realism and Nominalism is explored and we attempt to answer the problem of universals.
