A particular thing is a unique thing, so for every property it participates or not. Now, for example consider "the property of being in present moment", and "yourself" as a particular thing, are you participate a.m. property now and 200 years ago?

How we can solve this paradox?— Preceding unsigned comment added by The philosopher no. 2 (talk • contribs) 15:33, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redness as not Particular[edit]

Isn't it correct to say that Redness is often particular between different kinds of objects? I understand that 10 apples of the same seed (or however you'd say it) would have the same hue of redness, but wouldn't a woman's hair and a bicycle likely or near-certainly have different hues? Calling all different hues of red red might be a generalization (I'm not sure). --Mr Bucket (talk) 17:46, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

An answer to "redness" is redness as a word is particular in the mind of its user and instances of this word for the group of users are particular as its meaning in any particular time.— Preceding unsigned comment added by The philosopher no. 2 (talk • contribs) 15:33, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
