Which 'concept' are not abstraction?Magnus Anderson wrote: ↑Fri Jun 09, 2023 12:20 am Not every concept is an abstraction, Veritas. Abstraction is merely a type of concept that is formed by taking a number of examples and then calculating their average. Not all concepts are formed this way.
When I am riding a horse, I am riding a real living particular-horse with its unique and specific features.But that doesn't really matter because either way the concept attached to the word "horse" is not that of a concept.
What exactly are you riding when you're riding a horse?
Are you riding a concept?

The question of 'concept' only applies when one do not understand the term 'horse' or want to deal with horses-in-general.
As such, a 'concept' is an abstraction grounded on empirical elements.
What is most real are the particular-horses as FSK-ed, not the 'concept'.
