I 404
Learning by stimuli > sense data - VsPhysicalism rather than VsNominalism.
I 407f
Terms: Terms should be accepted because of usefulness (VsNominalism).
I 462f
Nominalism: cannot use relations, classes, etc. ("ancestor", "successor", "greater than", "as many" quantification) - but there are stages of renunciation.
II 102
VsNominalism: Even if it were possible to reinterpret somehow ingeniously all speech about qualities through paraphrase in speech about similarity to individual things that exemplify these qualities, one universal would still remain: the relationship of similarity.
II 221
QuineVsNominalism: tokens are not sufficient for proof theory - (Goodman ditto).
VIII 24ff
Nominalism/Quine: admits diseases as something that anyone can have, but not as an abstract entity - "Unicorn", "on": are syncategorematic expressions, they do not designate anything.
