Title: On Numbers as Kinds

Abstract: I discuss the neo-aristotelian ontology presented in Lowe (2006), drawing particular attention at Lowe’s notions of objects and pluralities, and his conception of natural numbers as universals. I argue that Lowe’s treatment of numbers and pluralities is useful to those who believe that non-individual entities exist and can be counted. Furthermore, I argue that Lowe’s framework points to a very natural interpretation of a logical language with the expressive resources to quantify over non-individuals.
