PHIL 168g Lecture 6: Paper 2 Help - Discussion
Document Summary
Reconstruct philo"s argument (1/4th of the paper) a. b. Spend some time defending the premises, intuitively saying why they sound plausible on first glance. Pick 1 to 2 premises and argue for why it is false. 29-32 is where you need to get stuff. If the material world is based on an ideal world, the ideal world must be the cause. If the idea world is the cause of material, it must be based on a further ideal world. The ideal world isn"t based on another ideal world. Therefore, the material world is not based on the ideal world. God isn"t the cause of the order of the universe. Our god could be caused by another god"s ordered thoughts.
