We concentrate on the usage of ultrafilters for capturing the intended meaning of “almost universal” assertions by analysing its underlying presuppositions and some basic intuitions. We first reasses the ultrafiltre proposal, suggesting na alternative interpretation, and then analyse a few questions, trying to overcome some objections against using ultrafilters.</span></p>}, number={2}, journal={Manuscrito: Revista Internacional de Filosofia}, author={Veloso, Paulo Augusto Silva}, year={1999}, month={out.}, pages={469–505} }
