 As a universal, “wisdom” will have as its instances tropes such as Socrates’ wisdom or the wisdom of that remark. With bare plurals and adjective nominalizations, English appears to reflect the Aristotelian four-category ontology of individuals (primary substances), kinds of individuals (secondary substances), tropes (accidents/modes), and kinds of tropes (qualities). Like Aristotelian secondary substances, the kinds that bare plurals stand for generally inherit their properties from their instances (Pigeons can fly) and exist only if instantiated (Pigeons exists implies the existence of an individual pigeon). However, qualities as denotations of bare adjectives are unrestricted. Irregularity, dirtiness, and underserved wealth will likewise stand for qualities, but not in any sense of naturalness that would put them on a par with natural kinds.
