The author discusses modern arguments, trying to solve the problem: was Suarez essentialist? The conclusion is that Suarez should not be stigmatized as being harmful to philosophy, but, on the contrary, he should be praised as a respectful thinker who ordered the metaphysics of Aristotle, defended it against Occamist nominalism and clarified scholastic philosophical terminology.

The author critically presents the concept of God's substantiality, given by Fonseca and Suarez, showing its historical context. The issue of God's substantiality discussed by Jesuits comes down to the statement that God is an individual, substantial and concrete entity, yet they posed some objections to that opinion and gave extra explanations. All in all, such conclusions are close to nominalists. Although the Jesuits verbally opposed nominalism, they remained under its influence. It proves that nominalism - in spite of being completely discredited - was still appreciated.

This paper deals with one of the earliest form of answering the famous dispute about the nature of universals - usually called vocalism or early 'nominalism'. This text wants to present the beginnings of the theory of vocalism, mainly with respect to delimitation of the logic as a science and with describing of the nature of the subject of the logic, especially in the context of reading works of peripatetic logical tradition (in the first place Introduction written by Porphyry and Boethius's commentaries). Further this paper wants to indicate the oldest representatives of vocalism (second half and the end of the 11th century) and subsequently shows the consequences following the standpoint of vocalism in the application to the semantics.

The key theses of the study emphasizes the finiteness of meaning in contrast to economic determinism as a normative starting point of K. Polanyi’s and E. Tugendhat’s vision of democratic society, controlled by its citizens. This egalitarian point of departure of defence of social human rights is at the same time the answer to their common dilemma, hidden in conflicting relationship of primacy of right to own to right to life. Taking into account Tugendhat’s critique of libertarian concept of “free” social contract as the will to power in connection with Polanyi’s unmasking of automaton of libertarian spontaneous equilibrium as political construct and self-destructing illusion, the study shows that the drop out of social rights in this concept is based on the nominalist grasp of reality, in relation to which any form of collective self-determination seems to be the enemy of freedom. The second presupposition of this drop out is to be found in the libertarian idea of the natural order of free market connected with the ideal of negative freedom and trickle down economy, based on the illusion of reality consisting of unlimited resources and the cooperation of already self-sufficient, healthy and adult owners of the sources of subsistence.
