    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Explanatory work requires identifying the specific mechanism doing the explaining, not just citing a vague common factor.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Suhrawardi appeals to 'shared reality' without demonstrating which properties of that reality generate the inferences at stake.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Without showing *why* sameness explains the inference, the claim remains an assertion rather than a justified argument.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Some explanations work by identifying shared conditions without fully articulating every causal mechanism involved.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The demand for explicit establishment of 'which property does the work' may presuppose a stricter standard than inference logic requires.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Suhrawardi's framework may rely on structural or metaphysical commonality that grounds validity implicitly rather than explicitly.
