Aristotle. Nicomachean Ethics, Martin Ostwald (tr.). New York: Bobbs-Merrill,
The prison dwelling corresponds to the region revealed to us by the sense of sight, and the fire-light within it to the power of the sun.
The ascent to see things in the upper world you may take as standing(a) for the upward journey of the soul into the region of the intelligible. . . (Allen 226).
Abelard, Peter. Ethical Writings. capital of Indiana: Hackett, 1995.
Peter Abelard entered the issue of frequents versus particulars and was part of the nominalist school, holding that universals are free-spoken expressions of mental terms and not things in the real world. Universals are thus mental constructs, and the reason they are universals is because they are sure of other things which are the particulars of the real world. The universal cannot be set with a grouping of objects unless those objects are all in the same condition, and since this is unlikely, universals are not themselves real things but stand as a common feature of real thighs that allows for the verbal tilt that this is a universal quality. Abelard was controversial in his ideas on the universal as he was on other theological issues in his time.
