Parse the following:

"The issue of concepts (known as "the problem of universals") is
philosophy's central issue. Since man's knowledge is gained and held
in conceptual form, the validity of man's knowledge depends upon the
validity of concepts. But concepts are abstractions or universals, and
everything that man perceives is particular, concrete. What is the
relationship between abstractions and concretes? To what precisely do
concepts refer in reality? Do they refer to something real, something
that exist - or are they merely inventions of man's mind, arbitrary
constructs or loose approximations that can not claim to represent
knowledge?"

I'll wait.


I need some microdot for that one.....

That would confuse Timothy Learey
