dmb said to David M: And I'd seriously like to know what you mean by "the sphere of the possible". Where did you get this notion?
David M replied: The 'sphere of the possible' is my preferred way to refer to the reality of the possibilities that any situation makes available. This is what DQ is I'd suggest. The best philosophical use of this concept to help explain reality-experience is in Whitehead... David M quoted from the Sneddon paper: "Whitehead calls these possibilities 'eternal objects'. ...these eternal objects reside, available for creativity, in what Whitehead names the 'primordial nature of god'." dmb says: Oh, I see. You've been talking some kind of Platonic theism. No wonder I smelled bullshit. Seriously. This is unsupportable, unknowable, ridiculous stuff. Don't you think? Eternal objects that reside in the bossom of god? Puh leeez. But thanks for making it clear. I really do appreciate that. [Krimel] Oh right, you can sum everything Whitehead had to say into two sentences. That makes him easy to dismiss. Given the title of the thread and your avowed love of Wilber I thought it was a given that you liked bullshit. That smell is probably coming from your upper lip. moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
