Okay, thanks. My French stops at “voulez vous coucher avec moi?”
About that transcendence: universals have been considered at least in two ways. And this concerns the two sources of those universals.
First, there are those who subscribe to universals from a source of truth higher than, and independent of, man. This already holds the stage with Aeschylus and Sophocles, before Plato engaged the debate in the person of Socrates.
Then, there are those who subscribe to universals (after Occam, if you will) as a part and parcel of "common reason." This takes the stage after the denial or loss of a source of truth higher than, and independent of man. This is the enterprise of common reason via Descartes and Kant and culminating in Hegel. more here
Let me guess, if one should say Maslow or Kant is atheist, one would immediately counter, that Kant was Protestant and Maslow was, among other things, devout to his science "as a God."
How many gods are there, after all? Well, it makes all the difference in the world if you want a "common good." That's what trust is for, right?
