Abstract

In Universals and Scientific Realism, II, D.M. Armstrong argues against the existence of negative and disjunctive universals, in particular against the existence of negative and disjunctive properties — monadic universals. He admits, however, conjunctive universals. My paper is a defense of negative and disjunctive properties.
