I had a conversation with Mentat1231 on youtube and I thought he was pretty dishonest and had a tendency to reshape questions to fit his own responses but to be fair, I was very impressed with him in this battle. He's clearly a very bright guy and a skilled debater.

Joyce’s account of practical...Here is my question, <br />Joyce’s account of practical reason states that a person P has a normative reason to do some action X if and only if a fully informed counter part of P, P+ who deliberated property who tell P to do X. <br />This is both a necessary and sufficient condition so on Joyce’s view reasons are by definition things people would tell us to do if had certain cognitive excellences. All you need then to have a reason is it to be the case that a person who had certain cognitive excellences tell us to do it<br />But God as traditionally understood, is omniscient and perfectly rational, so he has all the cognitive excellences P+ has, moreover, as Mackie pointed out, theism teaches that God created the world in such a way that a life of obeying his commands will lead to their ultimate satisfaction and fulfilment, hence, unlike ideal observer theories God’s commands are not alienated from the desires humans have. So God seems to have all the properties P+ has that makes P+s instructions count as reasons.<br /><br />So how can P+ telling P to do X by itself generate a reason for P to X and yet God who has the very same features commanding P to do X not generate a reason for P to X?<br />Matthew Flannaganhttp://www.mandm.org.nznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008257541483674764.post-88503724746241455302013-07-04T19:46:08.720-05:002013-07-04T19:46:08.720-05:00LOL.

I found it so ironic I burst out laughing!<br /><br />It highlights EXACTLY what I always suspected: externalistic religious epistemology boils down to making absurd claims regarding our cognitive faculties (in this case that we have a mental capacity geared toward detecting the divine) and then not backing that up with any evidence from cognitive science! It's a cop-out. If we do have a "religious capacity," then as I discussed in sections IV-D-3b-ii and IV-D-3c-iii, it's horribly unreliable and thus by Plantinga's own standards, the beliefs produced by it lack warrant.<br /><br />So in the end, if one wants to be a SERIOUS externalist religious epistemologist, one needs to dive head first into the empirical data regarding religious cognition. And given most theist's hostility to the scientific examination of religion, I think we can rule out most theists as serious advocates of properly basic beliefs or externalist epistemolgy. <br /><br />Externalism is only for the empirically-minded.Atomsk's Sanakanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075386707195252260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008257541483674764.post-9232862689618740822012-08-14T16:52:11.179-05:002012-08-14T16:52:11.179-05:00Wunder offers a notion of "proper function&qu...Wunder offers a notion of "proper function" in naturalism in terms of the health of an organism. I'm not sure how successful that is - angstreich seemed to have reservations that "health" might also be reducible to an intentional notion. I sent you and the rest of the gang some papers on naturalism and proper function. <br /><br />Also, you'd need to make a new PDF each time or edit an existing PDF. The changes won't occur automatically - unless there is some program out there that can do that for you.

After reading the introduction, I'm really excited about the part where he says he'll discuss the conceptual argument Plantinga offers against naturalist's accounting for proper functioning of a mind (or cognitive system). You probably already know my views of function and natural selection, but I'm interested to see how Wunder tackles the issue.<br /><br />On the PDF point, I probably won't do that for awhile. I want to revise these the posts to the point where I feel comfortable with all the spelling/grammar, paragraph + argument structure, and so on. Maybe after that I'll tranfer them to PDFs. Wait a sec: if I make changes to the post will the changes automatically appear in the PDF? Or do I need to make a new PDF everytime I make an edit or spelling correction?<br /><br />Thanks for the advice.Atomsk's Sanakanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075386707195252260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008257541483674764.post-43107855938298073882012-08-13T21:16:52.441-05:002012-08-13T21:16:52.441-05:00Very nice set of arguments.

I look forward to mulling them over and I particularly like your arguments against the conceptual RR argument. <br /><br />By the way, on the issue of Reformed epistemology, you might be interested in seeing Tyler Wunder's criticisms of the argument. See his dissertation <a href="http://commonsenseatheism.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Wunder-Warrant-and-Religious-Epistemology.pdf" rel="nofollow">here</a> and his interview <a href="http://commonsenseatheism.com/?p=10551" rel="nofollow">here</a>. <br /><br />Btw, you should consider bundling this and other papers into downloadable PDFs as well besides as blogposts. That would be a nice addition, considering the detail you've put into this paper.

The number 5 by itself doesn't mean much of anything. It only gains meaning in a larger structure, like that of the integers, or pehaps as a measure for the size of sets.<br /><br />In mathematics, we typically start by creating axioms which themselves are not justified, and some of the axioms involve axioms of existence. So for example in Euclidean geometry we must assume as an axiom there exist 3 non-linear points. In the Peano axioms, we assume 0 exists as a whole number. These axioms seem to come from our intuition.<br /><br />--RickRick Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683506454119367958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008257541483674764.post-7222571918090529032012-08-05T19:29:54.220-05:002012-08-05T19:29:54.220-05:00Slaking Slaking Slaking Slaking Slaking Slaking Sl...Slaking Slaking Slaking Slaking Slaking Slaking Slaking Slaking Slaking Slaking <br /><br />I'm going to keep bringing this up until you agree that we need an item-suppressing ability for Slaking!<br /><br />Just out of curiosity, for step 1, do you agree there are some beings that really do need to be metaphysically necessary: i.e. denying their existence results in (as Rayndeon calls it) a metaphysical absurdity or logical incoherence? I know Platonists will argue that abstract objects (such as number, sets, etc) must be necessary based on just such an argument. But I'm not a Platonist. And I know you cannot use such an argument to justifiy include necessary existence in God's definition.
