The communication of knowledge relies on language. While language is the combinations and applications of a particular system of meanings, and the essential elements of language system are, as traditional philosophy calls, concept. Determined to explore the possibility of communicating knowledge in the context of scholastic realism, this article first explains “universal concept.” Since universal concepts are the results of rational abstraction, after the explanation of universal concept, we are about to illustrate the “abstractness of scholasticism.” Moreover, due to the fact that Thomas Aquinas claimed that universal concept was universal intentional, this article will discuss the “functions of intention for cognition.” Then we will point out, via the features of intention, “the ways of universal concept to exist.” After explaining the forementioned questions, the issue at stake will be re-directed back to how language achieves the “possibility of communicating knowledge” in the context of scholasticism. At last, this article is finalized with “the conclusion.”
