This is the OG spiritualism vs materialism isn't it.
"Particulars" is the acadmic word for physical reality. "Universals" are concepts.
Nominalist (materialists) believe "map isn't the territory". Concepts are just braincells arranging themselves to represent external reality.
Realists (closet /x/ fags) believe concepts are real objects in higher planes, and ultimately manifests the lower physical realities.
Thank god I frequent /x/. Almost all other students had the thousand yard stare when the prof start going off about these things.
Sneaky philosophers hiding behind sophisticated words so they don't get outted as schizos, very clever.
