The Big Picture of Reality

Abstract

In this chapter, I present the big picture of reality from the perspective of Priority Nominalism. I will give some hints about how the priority nominalist comprehends different, closed questions of ontology, like the status of meanings and the problem of mereological composition. Furthermore, in this chapter the main pre-theoretical intuitions of Priority Nominalism will be discussed against the background of a more general meta-metaphysical analysis of the realism-nominalism debate. At the very end, I present seven advantages of Priority Nominalism over rival theories.
