It argues that a Russellian realist bundle theory is indeed the best explanation of similarities and differences that we observe around us thanks to the ontological economy such a theory provides and its strength and completeness as a theory of the nature of reality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTackling the major criticisms levelled against the realist bundle theory - the problem of individuation, the problem of necessity, and the problem of analyticity - this study presents and defends a tenable Russellian bundle theory which can answer the objections. \u003ci\u003eBertrand Russell's Bundle Theory of Particulars\u003c\/i\u003e is a novel and significant contribution to Russell scholarship.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45082529988759,"sku":"9781474257022","price":4961.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781474257022.webp?v=1767142526","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/bertrand-russells-bundle-theory-of-particulars-9781474257022","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
