Hi Brian Tenneson According to Leibniz, there are two kinds of logic, the logic of necessity or rational logic, and the logic of contingency or of facts.
Reality is contingent, to use Leibniz's idea. Things may be true sometimes and at some places, but never everywhere, at all times. It's an a posteriori world, a world of facts only. Eternal or necessary or rational truths are always either true or false. So they are a priori. It's a world of a posteriori facts , not a priori eternal truths. Roger Clough, rclo...@verizon.net 9/7/2012 Leibniz would say, "If there's no God, we'd have to invent him so that everything could function." ----- Receiving the following content ----- From: Brian Tenneson Receiver: everything-list Time: 2012-09-06, 14:52:44 Subject: Re: The All A too much powerful God leads to inconsistency.? What if reality does not always obey the laws of logic?? What if reality is sometimes inconsistent? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
