Alıntılar
We have said that terms express concepts, that concepts are universal, and that concepts refer to the essences or natures of things. Are these essences uni- versal, like the concepts we have of them?
If they are not, then it seems that our concepts of them are not accurate, for they do not correspond to their objects. And in that case, our concepts would dis- tort rather than reveal the true nature of things.
But are universals then real things‘? Is beauty real as well as beautiful things? Does humanity or human nature or the human species really exist in addition to the 6+ billion human beings that have the same essential human nature?

Though your body is unimaginably tiny compared with the universe, your concept of the universe is greater than the universe! For if you understood the word “universe,” your thought ‘surrounded’ the universe —the same universe that surrounds your body. You did that by having a concept of the universe.
