By introducing newly commissioned essays written by the leading metaphysicians, epistemologists, philosophers of language and philosophers of mathematics, this anthology evinces current analytic philosophy's healthy re-engagement with the perennial problem of universals. Insights from current Western thought are compared with recent work in analytic Indian philosophy on such issues. No serious researcher or teacher of contemporary and comparative analytical metaphysics can afford to ignore the essays of this collection.

About the book >.>.> Universals, Concepts and Qualities: New Essays on the Meaning of Predicates by P.F. Strawson delves into the complex philosophical inquiry surrounding the nature of universals and their role in our understanding of similarity and qualitative identity among distinct entities and events. This anthology addresses whether universally acknowledged properties, such as humanness or triangularity, truly exist, and whether modern concepts, like being a laptop computer, can be classified as universals. It questions the reference of predicate expressions?adjectives and abstract nouns?tied to either objective properties or cognitive contents termed concepts.The anthology engages with a historically significant philosophical problem that has captivated thinkers from ancient to modern times across various cultures, including Western and Indian metaphysics. The logico-linguistic shift in philosophy has reinvigorated discussions about universals, particularly concerning the meanings of predicate expressions and conceptual theories. Featuring newly commissioned essays from prominent figures in metaphysics, epistemology, and the philosophy of language and mathematics, this collection represents contemporary analytic philosophy's renewed focus on this enduring issue. Contributors investigate critical topics such as the existence of properties as abstract entities apart from human cognition, the possibility of direct perceptual engagement with these properties, and the applicability of higher-order quantification over predicated properties. Insights from current Western philosophical thought are thoughtfully juxtaposed with emerging analytic Indian philosophy on these subjects. This anthology serves as an essential resource for researchers and educators engaged in contemporary and comparative analytical metaphysics, enriching the discourse on universals and their significance in philosophical inquiry.
