In this chapter, based on Christias (2023), and inspired by Sellars and Deleuze, I suggest that a process-oriented categorial framework can provide the most promising successor of the ‘substance-property’ categorial framework at work in our everyday lifeworld. The former is what results from an immanent critique of the latter. Moreover, I attempt to show that if a process ontology is to supersede the substance-property ontological framework in a consistent manner it must endorse a nominalistic metaphysics which eschews all kinds of abstract universals, such as substances, properties, relations, kinds, facts, and construct a nominalistic process language without recourse to Fregean contents or predicates as referring expressions.

摘要

In this chapter, based on Christias (2023), and inspired by Sellars and Deleuze, I suggest that a process-oriented categorial framework can provide the most promising successor of the ‘substance-property’ categorial framework at work in our everyday lifeworld. The former is what results from an immanent critique of the latter. Moreover, I attempt to show that if a process ontology is to supersede the substance-property ontological framework in a consistent manner it must endorse a nominalistic metaphysics which eschews all kinds of abstract universals, such as substances, properties, relations, kinds, facts, and construct a nominalistic process language without recourse to Fregean contents or predicates as referring expressions.
