Conceptual Entities

September 13th, 2006 Fred McVittie Posted in Fiction, Soul, Touch |

The realm of thought and ideas does not (cannot) meaningfully discriminate between the real the fictional. Terms such as ‘fiction’, ‘metaphor’, ’symbol’, etc are about the status of certain ideas held in the mind when compared to their ‘real’ counterparts the in outside world, these terms have no significance with regard to the ideas themselves. We do not have ‘fictional’ thoughts. In the realm of thought a soul is as real as a hand.
