New cards

what is PLATO’s argument from simplicity?

  • composite = destructible (body)

  • incomposite = no parts = indestructible (soul)

so soul remains; body destroyed

New cards

what are BRIAN DAVIES’ arguments?

  • would not be happy if told Mona Lisa was replica

    • replica and original different by definition

  • would not be relieved if replica appears after being given poison

    • BUT, maybe you just don’t want to be poisoned?

(response to hick)

HICK’s response:

  • not merely replica

  • continuation of “consciousness, memory, emotion, and volition”
