I 372 Levels/abstract/Tugendhat: for predicates of a higher level (that classify abstract objects) there are no analogues at the level of quasi-predicates. >Terminology/Tugendhat, >Predicates/Tugendhat. But there are also singular terms of a higher level. One will probably be able to say that the reference to abstract objects presupposes the reference to concrete objects - at least equiprimordial. >Abstractness, >Abstraction, >Reality, >Reference, >World/thinking, >Levels, >World._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
