For example, something red or hungry or fast has characteristics described with reference to some material set of properties, such as quantum light interactivity or lack of usable [[food]] [[energy]]. However, good indirectly refers to a material set of properties, through a (sometimes implicit) valuation. For example, a good book depends on the reader, a good meal depends on the eater, and so on.

For example, "this sentence" means the one you are reading now, but the exact same phrase would mean a different sentence if it were used elsewhere.) |
