| OK, so all true identities are necessary and, since all predications can be
reduced to identities, all truths are necessary truths. Hence, there is only one possible world. All events therefore are determined (could not have been otherwise than they are), so there is no free will -- even for God (if there is one, which there now is not, by definition) -- and so no moral responsibility nor any just punishment (not that we can do anyting about inflicting pain on the innocent). And most of our talk is utter nonsense. Sounds about right to me. NOT. |
