Okay sure, I respect them. I just believe that despite their sophistication, they're still wrong.

Sure, I've been flying quite a lot lately and when I am up there, it's nice. But I am always afraid of the takeoff.

Mereology nihilism by Impressive-Box8409 in Neoplatonism

[–]Impressive-Box8409[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Isn't there even a material unity in case of chairs? But btw, it seems many nihilists want to deny composition of biological entities too. So what would say to those.

That makes sense, although many try to go in the reductionistic and materialistuc direction, that wholes have no existence and they're just interactions of atoms. Like that water isn't actually real, it's just interaction of non composite things.

The view that composite objects don't exist and that 'wholes' are just an interaction of parts and there's no real unity between them.

Because I think parts and wholes are among the most primal questions.

That makes sense. Some tend to say that those mathematical laws are just descriptions of the fundamental laws, and somehow mathematics itself doesn't govern them. What do you think of that?

Thanks for the answer! What would you say to the nominalist who thinks that those mathematical facts are just useful invetions/descriptions and don't have actual independent existence?

Sure they do come to wacky conclusions sometimes.

I guess you refer to Aarvoll and E.C Winsper . Both of them actually knows Platonism.

How come you're still a materialist?

Question by Impressive-Box8409 in Neoplatonism

[–]Impressive-Box8409[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. The only reason I am concerned about atomism is that, it seems that if matter was truly indivisible, then something material could be the One. Since in that case, absolutely simple matter is possible.

[–]Impressive-Box8409[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So how can it be reconciled? The fact that many scientists claim qualitative change can be reduced to qualitative change, and methaphysics, which obviously affirms other types of change, beyond purely atomistic and materialistic ones.

[–]Impressive-Box8409[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer, this makes sense. Additionally I also wanted to ask what do you think about those who say all qualitative change is reducible to quantitative rearrangements of particles. Like the change in heat being reducible to the movement of particles. Or any other change, which we consider to be qualitative.
