PEREZ, Alejandro. The problem of universals in Thomas Aquinas, seen with analytic glasses. Prax. filos. [online]. 2015, n.40, pp.113-135. ISSN 0120-4688.
In this paper, we propose to study the problem of universals in Thomas Aquinas with ''analytic glasses'' (according to the famous phrase of Jonathan Barnes). Starting with the semantic criteria of Peirce used by Armstrong, we propose to present a new reading of the position of Thomas, especially of the De ente et essentia. We introduce the thesis of Thomas Aquinas in contemporary discussions highlighting the difficulty of classifying Thomas Aquinas as a realist or as a universalist. Our main goal is thus to present a new reading of the position of Aquinas, while showing how and why his thesis might be a promising solution in the discussion of the problem of universals
