I'm saying how do you justify social entities like community outside of individual perceptions of what the community is, means, etc. — schopenhauer1

But what exactly does this "shared" mean? — baker
Is it an active and deliberate sharing, like when you offer someone an apple if you have two?

Really? So psychology, sociology, and anthropology don’t contribute theories for this? — schopenhauer1
How do you get out of circularity of what community is? — schopenhauer1
How is it “out there”? — schopenhauer1
You have to justify a theory of emergence, not just posit it. — schopenhauer1
I can doubt community exists outside my perception. — schopenhauer1
Hinge propositions can’t just stop theorizing as that hinge needs to be grounded further. — schopenhauer1
