Abstract

I argue that the conjunction of (1) a moderate realist stance with respect to universals, (2) dispositionalism, and (3) a traditional view of the instantiation relation as two‐valued (i.e., the notion that all universals are either instantiated or uninstantiated) points to the truth of theism.
