@ACG2 I'm doing a second PhD extrenally through Yale. They are fantastic at supporting external students.
@Florence So Cool! What is your second doctorate on?
@ACG2 Medieval Theological Philosophy. More specifically, the problem with 'universals' looking at Christian and Islamic scholars.
@Florence 🧡 That sounds really engrossing. May I ask you to explain what the word ‘universals’ mean in your context? I’m Curious.
@ACG2 Or, to put it into 101 terms, if 'table' exists, and 'divinity' exists, then which is real and which is not real. A table you can see, buy, touch, dvinity not so much. One is 'real' real, the other is kind of real. Which is real? Point being, if the 'divnity type tyings do not realy exist, how do we know what they mean? And, if they don't really exist, then neither dores God. Then you get into Anselm's defense of God from the prevoiusly stated position.
