Logic and reason are circular anyway, being that first principles are circular by necessity of being first principles. As for your actual questions, the hell if I knew.  |
Thanks, that's an interesting thread, and I've contributed there. Good to keep this thread for ...
...the "Validity of the LoA". I'm grinning because it seems nobody wants to talk about that now. ALG was really deeply involved in that, I thought, and then he went off to do something else. He's left a couple of loose ends. I think he's probably having to think about them for a while, make sure his view is complete and consistent by the time he gets back. That always takes longer than you think...
