The Argument from Desire

[thinkandmull]

I don’t agree with this argument in the same way I disagree with the fourth Way. I mean, for all we know, we lived in complete paradise before the ages of 2 or 3, when we start having stable memory which we can recall now. Maybe all our desires were fulfilled for what seemed like an eternity, and then we have to deal with some mediocre years before we go to nothing. At least that argument rests on possibility. The Fourth Way is very similar in saying there must be a greatest good. But maybe the greatest good was already experienced with one’s mother while in her and for a year or two after. Maybe “waking up” at 2 or 3 is like the end of a journey

:coolinoff::coolinoff:

Absolute = certain I don’t trust in the probability you exist. But I assume that you do so to get by. That does not mean that I believe without a doubt that you have to be a real person.

Whew! :coolinoff:

What more can I say?

 

[Charlemagne_III]

Absolute = certain
Probable = not certain
So, oxymoron.

I don’t trust in the probability you exist. But I assume that you do so to get by. That does not mean that I believe without a doubt that you have to be a real person.

Here’s another oxymoron for you!

Relativism has to do with morality. I am arguing on intellectual certainty.
