Please clarify: Wittgenstein do not accept universal, negative & intentional facts but has he accepted universal, negative & intentional propositions?
Wittgenstein has accepted all the mentioned propositions but he has accepted only particular fact, positive factand has also denied intentional fact due to his strict commitment to Ockham razor. Hope it clears

how to participate in your discussion.
I think its good that we make important keywords and short answers/concepts in three to four lines ie core point..so that later we have can build answer around it... please post some questions on bhudhism...
Book: A critical history of western philosophy (Y. Masih) Topic: Ideas of Plato
"If sensible is like idea, then idea too will be like sensible. In that case, another idea of likeness will be required to explain the first idea of likeness with the likeness in like things, participating in the idea. In other words, there is a third standard likeness with which to judge the two likenesses. Further, this 2nd pattern of likeness, will be required to explain the likeness of the second order. This will land into infinite regress."
Can anyone simplify this? Difficult to comprehend.
To explain :- cow and Buffalo are like, we need crtierion for likeness(A) i.e. two eyes on either side, big nostrils, four legs.(FIRST ORDER)
Now one can ask what is likeness in "having four legs or eyes"(what is similarity)? Here we need SECOND ORDER CRITERION:- i.e. two front legs two back, having furs, black eyes etc.
So you can see, we are going deeper into enquiry of likeness...which is infinite series...this is what is explained. This is similar to "fallacy of third man" as in samvaay of vaishesika.
I had a doubt:

This is third man fallacy. Plato discusses universal essence like manness in man. It is criticism of Plato that ur passage is referring to. It goes like this: ur manness if same as my manness require a third person to judge. And third person's manness is same to two of us require fourth man to judge. This goes on and on and ultimately leads to infinite regress.
