To quote from the Tarka Samgraha, that classifies categories as
[1]substance, [2]quality, [3]action, [4]generality, [5]particularity,
[6]inherence, and [7]negation:
[4]Classification of Genarality:
Generality is of two kinds: the more comprehensive and the less
comprehensive
[5]Particularities:
But, particularities abiding in eternal substances are innumerable indeed.
Our ancient epistemology is partly based on `atomistic pluralism' - the
core behind [4] and [5] quoted above. Have you ordered English names
and words this way - more comprehensive to the less comprehensive?
Please do share your work if you have ordered names or words this way.
Regards,
Ramanraj.
