Abstract

The three papers brought together here were presented at the Notre Dame Aquinas Symposium, March 9-10, 1956. Alonzo Church's paper is a brief, partly historical, study of various understandings of "Propositions and Sentences." Nelson Goodman gives a well-written exposition and defense of his version of nominalism in "A World of Individuals." Fr. Bochenski's title essay alone is concerned with "The Problem of Universals;" this he breaks up into several levels and attempts to restate in terms of symbolic logic and with reference to the ontological commitments implied in the various positions. A stimulating discussion.--D. R.
