==Being said vs being in== | |||
Being a human exists in virtue of individuals existing. | |||
Example 1: The form of a chair exists and depends on its particulars, i.e., the existence of an actual instance of a chair. Thus the form of the chair is real, it exists and '''''it is in the object''''' or imminent; it is present in the object. See [[Immanent Realism]]. | |||
