    Addressing 1-A Concepts

    The primary aim of this thread is to demonstrate why some conceptual frameworks, such as Platonism, should be regarded as 1-A. Platonism was previously accepted as 1-A, but its 1-A status is no longer here. In this thread, I will explain why particular conceptual frameworks should be considered...
