Do universals need to be discovered?

Answer 1

We don't know for sure.  Some may need to be invented...even.

But actually, what's interestinf about your question is how those who don't understand it assume that they would know what you're talking about if you elaborated.  They don't even realize that they are using the universal of ? to ? you about ?ing them.

Answer 6

lol, am i the first person to know what universals are?

There are an infinite number of universals because there are an infinite number of qualities.  If you mean a perfect universal that all things share, then yes it needs to be discovered.  

But.. if you mean, do they exist whether or not we qualify them.  I don't believe so.  I think they only exist as we find them, and on their "own" they remain nothing.  We use them to understand our world and like all ideas they must be witnessed by a conscious being to be created.  Hopefully I understood your question.

edit: man u have alot of questions about universals! U just posted another so i did a search and found many more.  U danny and Uniformatics, d**n!  I doubt ull like my answer cause u seem to hold of the belief that they are innate aspects of our world.  I don't understand what u keep searching for. Is the question that important to you?  I understand y people ask about the meaning of life so often, but..  I hope u find whatever it is u are looking for.
