Per the objection, properties are synthetic constructions of language and thinking alone provides reality to the properties of any object.
An apple, it claims, does not have the properties red or juicy, but rather observers who already believe in a concept called Red use that concept to experience an apple as red.
Further, the objection maintains that Red cannot be distilled from an apple because Red is an abstraction from other experiences and not an innate property an apple might contain.
Per the objection, expressions such as, " An apple is red and juicy ," includes at least six concepts and would best be left as dead-end logical propositions.
Since the objection regards the words " Red " and " Juicy " as simply abstractions of previous experiences, it contends that they contain only a personal summary concept of one individual.
Thus, the experience of an apple is as close to the Apple concept that one can get.
The objection regards any additional analytic work of the mind as a synthesis of other experiences that is incapable of logically revealing any true essence of Apple.
