[Joe] "percepts" DQ! "Concepts" SQ! [Krimel] Thanks, Joe. It really isn't all that complicated is it?
---------------------------------- >> [Krimel] >> This problem of continuous and discontinuous is a major big deal.

The distinction is an important one and much confusion results >> when we don't acknowledge it. Which, by the way, many here don't and their >> confusion is plain to see. > > [John] > Well here you're dabbling in my area of interest where Royce argues against > Jame's position by asserting that humans are never possessed of either pure > perception or pure conception; our knowledge is always an imperfect union of > the two.
