The universal: And this also holds true for: And, concerning Jupiter: suppose I see Jupiter in a picture and identify it as jupiter. Then, at a later ...

Btw, I thought I'd add: I'm definitely not a Hegelian, but he says thought is what produces the universal, and that thought belongs to subjectivity. S...

I think this more aptly describes the universal rather than the objective.

Thank you sir.

Where did I say that... you give me too much credit my friend, but not enough coherence in your understanding. The gaping ellipsis of your reasoning i...

I'm open minded and willing to consider that broader context you speak of, if you're willing to breifly explain what it is. Ill approach it dialectica...
