- Summary:
- Almost no systematic theorising is generality-free. Scientists test general hypotheses; set theorists prove theorems about every set; metaphysicians espouse theses about all things of any kind. But do we ever succeed in theorising about absolutely everything? Not according to generality relativism, which James Studd defends in this book.
