    It is not the case that If the structuring conditions of experience are transcendental features of human cognition, positing an eternal intelligence to explain shared cognitive order is an explanatorily redundant move beyond what the phenomena require.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Transcendental structures themselves require explanation: why these specific structures rather than others?
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A designer intelligence may explain why contingent cognitive structures exist and are shared, unlike brute facts.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Neurobiology describes implementation but may not explain why physical systems generate unified conscious experience at all.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Kant demonstrated that space, time, and causality structure all human experience without requiring external explanation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Positing an eternal intelligence adds an entity whose own cognitive structures remain unexplained, creating regress.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Shared cognitive order is parsimoniously explained by common human neurobiology, not transcendent causes.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
