7035	God does not create the world, and then add the classes [Heil]
	Full Idea: It is hard to see classes as an 'addition of being'; God does not create the world, and then add the classes.
	From: John Heil (From an Ontological Point of View [2003], 13.4 n6)
	A reaction: This seems right. We may be tempted into believing in the reality of classes when considering maths, but it seems utterly implausible when considering trees or cows.
