The Abstract of the Talk:
I consider and offer replies to lines of thought in support of some form of metaphysical
skepticism, according to which metaphysical claims---e.g., the claim that universals serve
as the basis for resemblance between objects, or that sets necessarily exist---are
meaningless, false, epistemically inaccessible, or at best pragmatically accepted.
The talk is part of the Lugano Philosophy Colloquia - a series of events organized by:
- Master in Philosophy at USI
- Ratio – Philosophical Association
- Istituto di Studi Filosofici, Lugano
