ABSTRACT
Basic Writings of Nietzsche, Modern Library, New York, 1968. (Between them these contain the above works and five other works complete, with extracts from further ones.)
. See NOMOLOGICAL.
. Normally any view which treats a given (apparently non-linguistic) subject-matter in terms of words or language rather than in terms of substantial realities. In fact, however, there are two versions: (i) the view that there are no abstract entities, and that abstraction depends on things being described in certain ways; (ii) the view that there are no universals (also called PARTICULARISM). Only (i) falls under the opening definition above, (ii) is followed by Armstrong in particular (see bibliography to UNIVERSALS). See UNIVERSALS, BEING, DEFINITION, MODALITIES, REALISM, SUBSTANCE.
. Concerning or involving laws. Nomic means this, or sometimes ‘lawlike’ (see first sense of this under LAWS).
