The main purpose of this paper is to uphold the very fact that there are many ways of understanding the concept Universal and also the several issues revolving round it but then the fundamental aim must be to free the ontology of any extra pressure. Thus, the prime aim of the paper is to exhibit the different ways in which discussions relating to Universals were usually dealt with. The thrust nevertheless lies on the reference of Tropes which is found to be more apt in providing a less cumbersome ontology. The aim thus is not to provide a comparative study on whether Universals are more fundamental than Particulars but to show that the usual ways of discussing Universals could be looked differently and secondarily; both Universals and Particulars are ways of explaining an object as a whole. The point thus is to concentrate on our understanding of the given object. The purpose of bringing in the reference of Tropes thus proves that there can be discussions that arise from the discussions of Universals undoubtedly but nevertheless can provide better opportunities. The methods applied are the revisiting of concepts like non-relational tie, relation of attachment, the explanation on Supervenience and finally the concept of Tropes (the ontological glue and what is it for a substance to have properties, etc.). There is also a special effort made of introducing the concept “generality” and “peculiarity.” Tropes stand true to a great extent to expectations especially as independent entities. Though it is true that they form clusters to help in the emergence of substances as a whole, their explanatory powers are a sure welcome. In philosophy, we always try to reach the simplest element or an explanation that would serve as a unit or as the fundamental, and Universals and Tropes serve this purpose in their own way.

重新审视万国,特别是对Tropes的关注

本文的主要目的是要坚持这样一个事实,即有很多方法可以理解通用概念,还涉及围绕它的若干问题,但是其基本目标必须是释放本体的任何额外压力。因此,本文的主要目的是展示通常与通用有关的不同讨论方式。然而,重点仍在Tropes的参考上,该参考被发现更易于提供不太麻烦的本体。因此,其目的不是为了对通用性是否比特殊性更基础进行比较研究,而是要表明讨论通用性的通常方法可以有不同的看法。普遍性和特殊性都是从整体上解释对象的方法。因此,重点是我们对给定对象的理解。因此,引入Tropes的目的是证明毫无疑问,可以从对Universals的讨论中引起讨论,但是仍然可以提供更好的机会。所采用的方法是对诸如非关系联系,依恋关系,对超性的解释以及对特洛佩斯(本体的胶水以及具有某种性质的物质的含义)等概念的再研究。引入“一般性”和“特殊性”这一概念也需要付出特殊的努力。部队在很大程度上符合期望,特别是作为独立实体。尽管它们确实形成簇来帮助整体上出现物质,但是它们的解释能力无疑是受欢迎的。在哲学上
