	abstract = {The paper comments and elaborates upon five pages of P. F. Strawson{\textquoteright}s Individuals (1959, 230 {\textendash} 234), together with his {\textquoteleft}Entity and Identity{\textquoteright} and {\textquoteleft}Universals{\textquoteright}. The focus is on Strawson{\textquoteright}s understanding of individual non-particulars as types or universals, and on his contention that the most obvious non-particular entities ({\textquoteleft}well-entrenched non-particulars{\textquoteright}) are the broadly conceived artefacts including the works of art. The narrow focus is on the implications of Strawson{\textquoteright}s suggestion that {\textquoteleft}an appropriate model for non-particulars of these kinds is that of a model particular - a kind of prototype, or ideal example, itself particular, which serves as a rule or standard for the production of others{\textquoteright} (1959, 233). The paper analyzes the relation between Strawson{\textquoteright}s position and the issue of artefacts and their (largely missing) ontology. It also asks about some less obvious affinities between the problem of the non-particulars (and their entrenchment) and Strawson{\textquoteright}s concept of a person.},
