The dance does not exist, but the people do? My heart beats, my neurons fire, my corpuscles flow in an intricate dance of their own; when that dance is interrupted, where goes the underlying person? I think you are using the word dance to denote many different concepts, and also looking back on what I wrote, it was definitely not clear what = I had written, so I will rephrase it rather than to continue to address your different points. What I am saying is that the concept of dance exists in our minds, but the motions, the heartbeats, corpuscles and all other entities, actions, = etc. working together do make up a dance, so I think we are in agreement here. All I was trying to say, is that what we classify as dance, the = concept, is a human construction which identifies individual motions, people, etc. which *do* exist with similar properties and lops them = together under the category dance. ------=_NextPart_000_000C_01BDCAA5.DDD3C5E0 Content-Type: text/html; [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=10272
