Barnes & Noble Nominalism and Contemporary Nominalism: Ontological Epistemological Implications of the work W.V.O. Quine N. Goodman at Hamilton Place in Chattanooga, TN
Though the subject of this work, "nominalism and contemporary nom inalism", is philosophical, it cannot be fully treated without relating it to data gathered from a great variety of domains, such as biology and more especially ethology, psychology, linguistics and neurobiology.

My colleague Marc De Mey (University of Ghent) helped me greatly with the more formal aspects of my work and spent too much of his valuable time and energy to enable me to deliver a presentable copy. All remaining shortcomings are entirely my responsibility. I asked Prof.
