Aug 25, 2022 at 1:08 | comment | added | Ryan Pierce Williams | I was recently reading through A New History of Western Philosophy. If I recall correctly, they asserted therein that though numbers are a non-physical mental abstraction, yet they permit of multiple instances. Thus you can have an equation like "2 + 2" where each quantity "2" is distinct. There are no duplicate Forms. | |
