It is not the case that If temporal abstraction removes the very conditions under which objects can be known, such abstraction yields no knowledge of objects at all.

Reasons For
1 perspective
Reason for
?
1.
Knowledge of structures, laws, and patterns can be genuine even when abstracted from particular temporal instantiations.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
2.
Removing conditions needn't eliminate all conditions; abstract knowledge may target invariant features independent of temporal context.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
3.
Mathematics and logic provide knowledge through abstraction, suggesting abstraction itself doesn't inherently prevent knowledge-generation.

Reasons Against

Reason against
?
1.
Knowledge requires epistemic access to an object's actual properties as they exist in real conditions.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
2.
Temporal abstraction necessarily removes contextual, relational, and dynamic properties constitutive of objects.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
3.
Without access to constitutive properties, claims about the abstracted object lack truth-conditions grounded in reality.
?
How convincing is this?
