A what? What is this reification you keep referring to by the letters, C-A-T?
Get it?
Get it?
No, and neither do you, apparently. As I type, my Molly nudges my hand, because I have stopped patting her. Molly is a cat, and would be extremely insulted if you or I called her a reification.
"a cat" is a referrant of the concept, cat. Such referrants are actual material existants. A "universal" is a referrant of the concept universal. For universal, there are no actual material (or any other kind) of existants. A universal is a class of concepts, and nothing more, useful in formal logic, and nothing else. The "universal" is an ontological/epistemological mistake.
