Identity of "Sir W. Hamilton"
I estimate that the person quoted by Webster 1913 under the name "Sir W. Hamilton" is Sir William Hamilton, 9th Baronet, a Scottish metaphysician who has also written on logic. Another candidate is William Rowan Hamilton, an Irish mathematician, physicist, and astronomer. W. R. Hamilton is not a philosopher in the narrow sense, and would presumably be quoted as "Sir W. R. Hamilton. Still, the identification that I have performed remains an estimation, to be falsified if need be. See also William Hamilton, a list of all people with the name. --Daniel Polansky 10:09, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Concept mean 'something understood'
This can't be right can it? We don't use concept to mean "something understood," we use it for any old idea. Paul 89.242.106.40 11:21, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
