14167 | The only classes are things, predicates and relations [Russell] |
Full Idea: The only classes appear to be things, predicates and relations. | |

A reaction: This is the first-order logic view of reality, which has begun to look incredibly impoverished in modern times. Processes certainly demand a hearing, as do modal facts. |
