Short essay on dualism, idealism, & materialism as concerns Q: What is a table?

[Mudhammam]

No, I wouldn't say 'Large-ness', exactly.  More a sort of textual diarrhea.  The philosophical 'table-ness' of a particular object is a subject of nil interest to any sensible person.  Everyone knows what a table is, what is meant by the concept.  Your long-winded exercise in pointlessness doesn't achieve anything, just a sort of mental masturbation on a subject with no content.

Boru

As Plato was conversing about Ideas and using the nouns "tablehood" and "cuphood," [Diogenes of Sinope] said, "Table and cup I see; but your tablehood and cuphood, Plato, I can nowise see." "That's readily accounted for," said Plato, "for you have the eyes to see the visible table and cup ; but not the understanding by which ideal tablehood and cuphood are discerned."
