    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Aristotle's principle that the past is necessary (what has happened cannot not have happened) applies to relational properties like virginity that are partly constituted by temporal sequence.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A distinction between 'restoring virginity' and 'undoing the done' cannot be coherently maintained when the property in question is internally indexed to its own causal history.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
