proponents of Nominalism are called "Nominalists"
'''Nominalism''' is the metaphysical philosophy that universals and abstract realities have no real existence, and that their designation as existing realities is a convention of names and language and an illusion. It is opposed to the metaphysical philosophy of [[Realists|Realism]]. Conceptualism designates several metaphysical doctrines proposing a compromise between realism and nominalism which regard universals as concepts. Compare [[Idea]].
