Instead subject: existence sentences with uniqueness condition. Uniqueness: "There is something that is the only F". I 251 Incomplete: "There is something that is the only F and that..." An expression of the normal language is a subject expression if it resolves into a quantified assertion plus relative pronoun in ideal language. It is a predicate expression if it does not resolve in this way. Now all expressions introducing a particular resolve (in the way mentioned) and therefore cannot be anything else than logical subject expressions. >Introduction/Strawson, >Universals/Strawson. Some expressions that introduce universals can also resolve, but others cannot. Therefore, universals can occur either as subjects, or as predicates. Quine's main concern is to ensure, if possible, that universals appear only as predicates. He calls this "nominalism". >Nominalism/Quine, >Universals/Quine, >Conceptualism/Quine.}, note = { Strawson I Peter F. Strawson Individuals: An Essay in Descriptive Metaphysics.
