True concept can be formed apart from a body 3. Falsity arises when what is combined in the mind is not what is combined in reality. Senses a. present things in mixture as confusion and b. transmit bodies with incorporeal realities within 5. Mind abstracts incorporeal realities from bodies to consider them in themselves. Genera and species, as incorporeal, exist in bodies.
Conceptualization gathers likenesses from species.
Plato believed universals to be beyond genera, species and universals. Universals are not simply concepts, they are subsistent realties. Universals are incorporeal, are not spatiotemporal. They do not subsist outside individuals except as Ideas in our own minds or God's.
