non-existence from another point of view, is not to indulge in a pun, and thus to be guilty of this fallacy. The objection is, therefore, futile.--
. 2. The second objection is that the Pluralistic position is liable to the fallacy of doubt. In the occurrence of this fallacy, the following elements enter :
(a) Seeing only a Common factor of two things. .
(6) Not seeing the peculiar features which they involve. . (c) Calling to mind by memory the peculiar features of only one thing.
For instance, a post is seen in the dusk of an evening. Its common factor of resembling a man is seen, but the individual characteristics of the post and man such as the nest of birds &c., on the post or the hands and feet of man are not seen. Now calling to mind by memory the peculiar features of man, the post is confounded with a man.
· These circumstances. donot apply to the Pluralistic doctrine, because each object has its individual as well as universal aspects.
