Nominalism is a philosophical concept that primarily concerns the nature of universals and abstract objects. It asserts that universals—such as properties, classes, or concepts—do not exist independently of the physical objects they represent. Instead, nominalists argue that these universals are merely names (hence “nominalism”) or labels we use to group individual instances together based on shared characteristics.
