Barsalou's move to a perceptual basis for cognition is
welcome. His scheme contrasts with classical logical schemes in many
ways, including its implications for the status of individuals. Barsalou
deals mainly with perceived individuals, omitting discussion of cognized
individuals. It is argued that the individuality of cognized individuals
is an abstraction, which conforms in its manner of formation to other
cognitive abstractions which Barsalou discusses, such as truth and
disjunction.
