Nominalism and Its Aftermath: The Philosophy of Nelson Goodman

Published by Springer. In it, I present his metaphysics (in particular his nominalism), then his epistemology (in particular his constructionalism), and then his aesthetics. His notion of art as understood in the symbolism of the predicate/object relationship is the inevitable result of his stances in his metaphysics and his epistemology. In addition, excerpts from that are also found on the blog under the title “Goodman’s Aesthetics”.
