Universals/Strawson: E.g. repeated tone - same chord in various concert halls.

Universals/Strawson: Tradition: only universals and particular-universals (E.g. be-married to John) can be predicted.
Particulars can never be predicted.

a) Type-universals: provides classification principle, does require none - E.g. generic names
b) characterizing universals: E.g. verbs, adjectives: deliver classification-principle - only for previously classified particulars.
But also particulars themselves provide "principle of summary": E.g. Socrates as well as wisdom ->
"attributive tie": (non-relational relation between particulars of different types).
I 216
Example of characterizing tie between Socrates and the universal death corresponds to the attributive tie between Socrates and his death - see
copula/Strawson.
I 251
Universals/Quine/Strawson: should only appear as predicates.
Pro "nominalism".

Nominalism.
StrawsonVsQuine: the language terms of this analysis, already presuppose the existence of subject-expressions.
I 250
Essential feature-universals/essential feature-localizing findings/Strawson: E.g. it rains now - snow falls - here is water.
No subject-predicate sentences: here no characterizing-universals, but types of material.
Also no type-universals. - This is the least to make any empirical statements.
Introduction with demonstrative does not require particulars.
>
Introduction/Strawson.
E.g. Cat as an essential feature:
a) for the same cat,
b) for another cat.
I 277
Essential-feature-universal/essential feature-localizing/Strawson: the corresponding essential feature-findings actually introduce things - but are not subject terms or subject phrases - "here"/"now" set no limits - (even if they are quantifiable, "there is no point in time ").
I 279
Things are not introduced by space and time adverbs.

Essence.
