TL;DR: The Resemblance Theorist offers his theory as a means of avoiding the need for universals, but Russell argues that he is in fact committed to granting the existence of at least one universal, namely resemblance itself.
Abstract: We have seen that according to the theories of some philosophers there are universals, whereas according to the theories of others there are not. Furthermore, we have seen that it can be a controversial question whether a given theory implies the existence of universals or not. The Resemblance Theorist offers his theory as a means of avoiding the need for universals, but as we have seen, Russell argues that he is in fact committed to granting the existence of at least one universal, namely resemblance itself.
