ABSTRACT
In Chapter 3 we saw that one consequence of taking philosophy to be directed at understanding and elucidation is that a philosophical explication cannot be given in terms of unintelligible entities. That was the reason why Goodman did not accept an analysis of meaning in terms of intensions. Intensions are not the only philosophical constructions he repudiates, however. Goodman is, among other things, most famous for another radical doctrine: his nominalism.
