- If I understand Spurrett right now, transcendental argument
- means that Given (X), (Y) follows ┤transcendentally from (X)
- if (Y) is a sufficient condition for (X) to be, and the
- conflicting views (Y2) do not imply (X), or rather, imply
- non-(X). Yes?
-
- If not, please define transcendental argument carefully for
- a person who has not had the nerves to finish Kritik der
- Reinen Vernunft yet.
-
- Based on my understanding above, and Spurrett┤s remarks,
- (X) is our belief that we have Free Will, and any (Y), to
- be acceptable, must explain this. Right?
-
- So, what do you mean when you say "Free Will"? Exact, please.
