7. Existence / D. Theories of Reality / 3. Reality

221	Absolute ideas, such as the Good and the Beautiful, cannot be known by us [Plato]
	Full Idea: The absolute good and the beautiful and all which we conceive to be absolute ideas are unknown to us.
	From: Plato (Parmenides [c.364 BCE], 134c)

7. Existence / D. Theories of Reality / 8. Facts / b. Types of fact

17293	Worldly facts are obtaining states of affairs, with constituents; conceptual facts also depend on concepts [Audi,P]
	Full Idea: The 'worldly' view of facts says they are obtaining states of affairs, individuated by their constituents and their combination. On the 'conceptual' view, facts will differ if they pick out an object or property via different concepts.
	From: Paul Audi (Clarification and Defense of Grounding [2012], 3.2)
	A reaction: Might it be that conceptual differences between facts are supervenient on worldly differences (with the worldly facts in charge)?
