Abstract: Can we talk about the Ultimate (like the ultimate God or the
ultimate reality Dao) with its contradictory features in a consistent way
as guided by a refined principle of non-contradiction?  My goal in this
talk is to explain a refined principle of non-contradiction (PNC) from a
holistic “double-reference” vantage point. I also aim at capturing the
“double-reference” point of Lao Zi’s opening statements of the Dao-De-Jing
and the central point of Aristotle’s classical presentation of the PNC.
Dissolving the “Ultimate-unspeakable paradox”, the addressed refined PNC
can guide us to talk about real contradictions in the Ultimate in a
non-contradictory and insightful way. For a discussion of Lao Zi's relevant
ideas see chapter 6 of my 2018 book S*emantic-Truth Approaches in Chinese
Philosophy: A Unifying Pluralist Account
*.
For
the double-reference idea see section 3.2 of my paper *An enhanced account
of relative identity
*
.


With best wishes,

Dear Francesco, List,

 

Google translator translates "ineffable" to german "unbeschreiblich", which means "not describable". If "not describable" is itself a description, this paradoxon lies within the term, not in anything that the term applies to, I would say. Same with "almighty": If God cannot make a rock too heavy for Him to pick up, He is not almighty, because either He cannot pick it up, or He cannot make such a rock. Just now, I am starting to guess, that this paradoxon too is one of the term, and not one of God. Before I had thought, that the solution lies in the "Son"- part of the trinity, as Jesus is not almighty. But still I think it is possible, that this way God has solved the paradoxon, though it is not His one, but the term`s, the human-made concept`s. Maybe same with "ineffable"? Jesus as a human can be described (by humans)?

 

Best

 

Helmut

Dear Colleague,

You are invited to participate in the next session of the Logic and Religion Webinar Series which will be held on June 15, 2023, at 4pm CET with the topic:

 

DIALETHEISM AND THE INEFFABILITY OF GOD

Speaker: Graham Priest (City University of New York, USA)

Chair: Agnieszka Rostalska (Ghent University, Belgium)

Abstract: Many Christian philosophers have argued that God is ineffable. Of course, in arguing for this, they talk about God. So God cannot be ineffable. Call this the self-referential trap. One way out of the trap is to accept that God is both effable and ineffable. It might be thought that such a view is incoherent. But it can be shown to make perfectly good sense using the techniques of paraconsistent logic. In this talk, I will show how.

Join us 5 minutes prior to the beginning of the session!
