I argue, however, that on closer inspection causal `nominalism' collapses into either a version of realism or a mere variant of one of the traditional nominalist approaches. In the case of Whittle's specific brand of causal nominalism, I suggest it is best thought of as a version of what Armstrong calls `ostrich' nominalism, a view which ultimately refuses to acknowledge the one over many problem rather than provide a solution to it},year = {2013},number = {3},journal = {Analysis},title = {Causal Nominalism and the One Over Many Problem}}@
