In "A Strange Familiarity" you argue that numbers are not conceptual, and they are obviously not physical (the matter to which numbers can refer are physical but no the numbers themselves). Therefore, you must be suggesting that there is another category in which number fall. PLEASE can anyone answer my question?? You have no idea how fascinating this is to me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16182010824841210288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6802109362344250457.post-60480659275027078702010-12-27T11:56:26.220-06:002010-12-27T11:56:26.220-06:00There's a rather obvious fault in the TAG tha...There's a rather obvious fault in the TAG that I see (in terms of the fact that if LAs = X, for other Xs it results in conclusions that are bizarre and unacceptable for the theist) i.e. The premises would seem to apply to God as well as LAs, so if we substitute 'LAs' with 'God' we get the following:<br /><br />(A)<br />1. God does not arise from matter, motion, time, space, etc.<br />2. Something that does not arise from matter/motion/time/space/etc. is not physical (by definition).<br />3. Anything that is not physical is conceptual.<br />4. Therefore, from 1-3, God is conceptual.<br /><br />(B)<br />1. Conceptual Things depend on a mind to exist.<br />2. God is conceptual.<br />3. Therefore, God depends upon a mind to exist.<br /><br />etc. etc.<br /><br />Obviously I can't really see many theists (esp. presuppers) liking the fact that this all results in an infinite regress of Gods. But, as far as I can see: <br /><br />1) They'd have no obvious reason to reject the ammended premises of my version of the argument (assuming that they accepted them for yours involving LAs)<br /><br />2) If they used the argument in the form it's been presented here they'd have to accept the conclusion that God is dependent on some other mind, which is also dependent on some other mind (ad-infinitum) or accept that there is some fault in one or more of TAG's premises (at least as it's been presented here).Rocky Rodenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620894198842461714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6802109362344250457.post-49385771375945496072010-10-26T01:29:44.212-05:002010-10-26T01:29:44.212-05:00Hi, I've dealt with Sye Tenbruggencate on this...Hi, I've dealt with Sye Tenbruggencate on this issue many, many, many times.
