Álgebras de universales
Main Article Content
Abstract
Several philosophers have proposed an “algebraic” view of universals according to which there are operations from universals to universals. It is not obvious, nevertheless, how those operations should be interpreted, and what impact they have for the conditions of identity of universals. There are two main interpretations of the algebra of universals. On one hand, it has been interpreted as ways to “construct” complex universals. On the other hand, it has been interpreted as “morphisms” or “mappings”, but not as something that “builds” complex universals from others more basic. In this paper, the comparative advantages of both conceptions are assessed and reasons are offered to prefer the second conception.
