My concern is whether or not it is meaningful to speak of "principles" or "ideas" as subsisting "out there" in some Platonic heaven; perhaps these are no more related to the external world than the color red, and are only useful to minds in categorizing their experiences, which, more or less result from phenomenon that, although can be described by principles or ideas, cannot actually be said to exist by what are terms of reflection and ratiocination in conjunction with sensation.
He who loves God cannot endeavour that God should love him in return - Baruch Spinoza
