    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Disjunctions such as infinite-or-finite and necessary-or-contingent are transcendentals.

    Admitting disjunctive transcendentals collapses the distinction between formal ontology and propositional logic, undermining the metaphysical foundation of the transcendental project.

    Key Terms

    Disjunctive(describing the type of goal being analyzed)
    Involving 'or' statements—situations where multiple options or outcomes are possible rather than just one.
    Metaphysical foundation(as what Kant argues is NOT the basis for our knowledge)
    A deeper layer of reality or truth that supposedly exists beyond what we can experience, which older philosophers thought everything else was built on top of.
    The transcendental project(as used in epistemology and metaphysics)
    A major philosophical effort (especially associated with Immanuel Kant) to figure out what we can know for certain and what conditions make knowledge possible in the first place.
    formal ontology(philosophical methodology)
    The philosophical study of what exists and how to categorize different types of things using strict logical rules and systems.

    Start fresh with something unrelated.
    propositional logic(Attributed to the Stoics as their advance beyond Aristotle)
    A branch of logic concerned with complex statements composed of complete propositions as parts, connected by logical connectives such as negation, conjunction, disjunction, and conditionals.
    transcendentals(Philip the Chancellor's argument for the unity of intellect and will)
    Metaphysical properties (such as the true and the good) that are co-extensive across all being, differing only intensionally (in concept) but not extensionally (in reference)
