The subject-predicate form reflects reality [Heil]
     Full Idea: I like to think that the subject-predicate form reflects a fundamental division in reality.
     From: John Heil (The Universe as We Find It [2012], 10.1)
     A reaction: That is, he defends the idea that there are substances, and powerful qualities pertaining to those substances. I sympathise, but this slogan makes it too simple.
