It argues that a Russellian realist bundle theory is indeed the best explanation of similarities and differences that we observe around us thanks to the ontological economy such a theory provides and its strength and completeness as a theory of the nature of reality. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTackling the major criticisms levelled against the realist bundle theory - the problem of individuation, the problem of necessity, and the problem of analyticity - this study presents and defends a tenable Russellian bundle theory which can answer the objections. Bertrand Russell's Bundle Theory of Particulars is a novel and significant contribution to Russell scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48937212281067,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":347.92,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781472512666-1.jpg?v=1783108713","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781472512666","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
