On the Two Abstractions of Social Information and Plato’s Theory of the Separation of Particulars and Universals
The authors propose that the theoretical framework of Western philosophy is supported by metaphysical ontology through the differentiation and analysis of two different kinds of “particulars-universals” in Plato’s “world visible to the naked eye” and “world known to the soul” in the solar metaphor a...
