Following centuries where Platonic Forms and Ideas were taken to be eternally real, the middle ages saw a dramatic shift. And, by the mid-14th century, metaphysical categories were taken to be mere words, names – hence, Nominalism. However, this philosophical triumph of Nominalism would be short lived.
