On Negative and Disjunctive Properties
Chapter
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.
