Abstract

This last chapter offers an overview of what has been argued through the book. The ontology defended is one in which in the fundamental level there are only transcendent universals and their instantiations. Everything else is grounded on these basic categories of entities. Universals have priority over particular instantiations, though, because transcendent universals are independent of those instantiations. Following the characterization of ‘emergence’ by Barnes, particular objects are emergent from universals.
