Note: this assignment is for students in Group II only.
Please respond to the following in
two pages or less (double spaced). (Needless to say this should be
your own original work.)
Both condition (regarded as the
third moment of contingency) and the causal relation (regarded as the
second moment of necessity), taken on their own, are or imply
instances of the bad infinite. Explain, structurally [students didn't
understand what I meant by this], why we might expect the bad infinite
to turn up in both of those places. What is the instance of genuine
infinity correlative to each? Explain in what sense each of these
[that is, each of the latter two -- this was very confusing :(]
is an instance of genuine infinity.
