Re: Modified Abstract

Hi Mark   You wrote:  <What I am trying to do is to distinguish between particulars, universals (or categories), and structurizations:>   This came across clearly in the modified abstract.  First time around I was completely lost... The 1st paragraph of the modified was for me a conglomeration of words outside my normal vocabulary - but I was confident that your target audience would know what you were talking about...   Then, to my surprise, I completely understood the remaining 4 paragraphs... especially from a Baha'i perspective...   In the last paragraph you mention individualized spirits in the vegetable kingdom.  I'm particularly curious how you might make a connection between the cohesion in the mineral kingdom (and particulars in vegetable kingdom) both of which are ordained through Divine will and NOT particular/individual will; and, that of the human species -who has yet to arrive at cohesion through "free will" alone...   lovingly,  Sandra  __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
