Abstract

This article examines a particular relationship between names and things. Initially examines the tradition that treats this issue in the history of philosophy especially those who criticize the universalist that tries to put human beings into a nature. Finally tries to demonstrate the intimate relationship of dependency that there may be among the names and the things that captures the names and the infl uence of the names on things that we can draw as dynamic nominalism.
