nominalist
A nominalist is a person who adheres to nominalism, a philosophical view or theory that denies the existence of abstract and universal entities, instead arguing that only individual and concrete objects are real. Nominalists believe that concepts such as "love", "truth", or mathematical entities only exist in name, and not as separate, independent entities. They argue that our understanding of these concepts come from the organization of individual experiences rather than from an understanding of universals.
Webster Dictionary
Nominalistnoun
one of a sect of philosophers in the Middle Ages, who adopted the opinion of Roscelin, that general conceptions, or universals, exist in name only
