Conceivability and Possibility at FQI

Filed under: Philosophy — Jeremy at 8:12 pm on Tuesday, March 14, 2006

In an earlier post, where I gave a modal argument for substance dualism, I mentioned (very) briefly the assumption it makes that conceivability is a good guide to possibility, and the controversy surrounding this assumption. I didn’t mention it then, but there is an entire book of articles dedicated to this topic. I probably won’t get around to reading it any time soon, but John DePoe at Fides Quarens Intellectum is reading it now and wrote an informative post summarizing the introduction. If you have any interest in this topic, I’d check it out. Hopefully he’ll make this into a series.
