T 1.1.7.1
SBN 17 · cited directly by 1 paper, reached by 3 more through page or section ranges
A VERY material question has been started concerning abstract or general ideas, whether they be general or particular in the mind's conception of them. A[4] great philosopher has disputed the receiv'd opinion in this particular, and has asserted, that all general ideas are nothing but particular ones, annexed to a certain term, which gives them a more extensive signification, and makes them recal upon occasion other individuals, which are similar to them. As I look upon this to be one of the greatest and most valuable discoveries that has been made of late years in the republic of letters, I shall here endeavour to confirm it by some arguments, which I hope will put it beyond all doubt and controversy.
