| Nominalism - Psychology Dictionary of Arguments | |||
| Nominalism is a philosophical theory that posits universals or abstract concepts (like 'beauty' or 'number') do not exist in reality outside of our minds. Instead, only individual, concrete objects are real. Nominalists argue that terms naming these universals are merely labels or names we use to group objects based on similarity, rather than referring to real, distinct entities. | |||
