Consider the following theme: “it is important to differentiate between imagination and reality.” is this theme universal? why or why not?

Yes, it is universal.

Going as far back as the origins of philosophy or the great Epics of Antiquity, one of the most pervasive and elusive of problems has been developing a scheme or a method to differentiate between the fantasies and images of the imagination and the actual and independent structure of reality. From Parmenides to Descartes, up to our present day, this one questions remains unsolved: what are the mind´s constructs (fantasy, wit, imagination) when contrasted with objects independent of the mind.  

the correct answer is

1. lived in castle in naples

2.educated in monastery

3.received a doctorine in theology

4.taught in paris

5. studied in dominican monastery
