Tuukka: An example of an abstract noun is: "bravery". This noun has the property of being the opposite of "cowardice". This is kindergarten stuff.
Ron: "Bravery" is not relative to a particular experience, as say a concrete noun like "strawberry" is. This IS the context of your term "relativizably" . That the term is predicated on a concrete relative meaning. One that is relative to a particular experience that most all may agree to. Abstract nouns do not have a corresponding relative experience and are not agreed apon and are mostly subjective in meaning. What is brave to you may not be brave to another. This is 2nd grade stuff. Consequently Tuuka, when one uses concrete nouns in logical strings of meaning they bear a consistancy while abstact nouns do not. THATS why they are not used in analytical philosophy not because they are not "allowed" but because they yield inconsistancies in meaning. > > Tuukka: > Yes, they have to be, if they want to understand what I'm saying.

Ron: Obviously you subscribe to your own brand of bullshit. .Have fun saving the free world goldmember. ..
