Thanks. >>Under strcturizations would fall all "volitionally dependent set of rules pertaining >>to relationships between particulars."<< Yes. My views here resemble those of Michel Foucault and Ian Hacking. A structurization is a universal (a category or rule) which frames relationships between particulars. Some structurizations, or universals, can function as master categories for other universals, such as society includes race, class, and gender. >>As we, as humans, cannot identify any phenomenon unless it has a relationship with >>another phenomenon, then those "meaningful and contextualized" would be defined >>through the relationship?<< Nicely stated. I think we understand particulars through the rules (structurizations) which we assign to them. Rules, structurizations, categories, or universals are basically relationships between particulars.
