The nature of things by Anthony Quinton

Originally published in 1973. In this systematic treatise, Anthony Quinton examines the concept of substance, a philosophical refinement of the everyday notion of a thing. Discussing four distinct problems about substance, he finishes with a linguistic account of universals and necessary truths and advances a naturalistic theory of value.
