Hi list: The "theory of the nature of thinking"...one or many?
How would you know and how would you convince others? *“But if there is something which is capable of moving things or acting on them, but is not actually doing so, there will not necessarily be movement; for that which has a potency need not exercise it. * *Nothing, then, is gained even if we suppose eternal substances, as the believers in the Forms do, unless there is to be in them some principle which can cause change; nay, even this is not enough, nor is another substance besides the Forms enough;* *for if it is not to act, there will be no movement**.” *~Aristotle *"Under this conception, the ideal of conduct will be to execute our little function in the operation of the creation by giving a hand toward rendering the world more reasonable whenever, * *as the slang is, it is 'up to us' to do so" (CP 1.615). * Hth, Jerry R On Tue, Sep 6, 2016 at 4:43 PM, Jon Alan Schmidt <jonalanschm...@gmail.com> wrote: > Helmut, List: > > Peirce's "Neglected Argument" is certainly NOT the same as Anselm's > ontological argument, although I have seen it characterized as AN > ontological argument in certain respects.
