The epistemological argument against Platonism

The epistemological argument is very simple. It is based on the idea that, according to Platonism, mathematical knowledge is knowledge of abstract objects, but there does not seem to be any way for humans to acquire knowledge of abstract objects. The argument for the claim that humans could not acquire knowledge of abstract objects proceeds as follows:

(1) Humans exist entirely within space-time.
(2) If there exist any abstract objects, then they exist entirely outside of space-time.

Potential Infinite v. Actual Infinite

One of the most important contributions that Aristotle had made to to study of infinity is identifying a dichotomy between what Aristotle calls the “potential infinite” and the “actual infinite”.

The potential infinite is a group of numbers or group of “things” that continues without terminating, going on or repeating itself over and over again with no recognizable ending point. What distinguishes the potential infinite and gives it the characteristic of being “potential” is the idea that if one were to take a sliver, or examine just one isolated portion of that infinite set of numbers, one would be able to capture or observe a finite set of numbers. The obvious example is the the grouping of natural numbers. No matter where you are while listing or counting out natural numbers, there always exists another number to proceed the one before. Also, a geometric line with a starting point could extend on without end, but could still be potentially infinite because all one would have to do is add on more length to a finite length to allow it to extend.

The actual infinite involves never-ending sets or “things” within a space that has a beginning and end; it is a series that is technically “completed” but consists of an infinite number of members. According to Aristotle, actual infinities cannot exist because they are paradoxical. It is impossible to say that you can always “take another step” or “add another member” in a completed set with a beginning and end, unlike a potential infinite. It is ultimately Aristotle’s rejection of the actual infinite that allowed him to refute Zeno’s paradox.

Although Aristotle did disprove the existence of the actual infinite finally, and tended to reject a lot of major concepts in mathematics, the importance of mathematics was still never belittled in Aristotle’s eyes. Aristotle argued that actual infinity as it is not applicable to geometry and the UNIVERSAL, is not relevant to mathematics, making potential infinity all that actually is important.

| infinity does not exist= because it violates causality

empiricism-n-logic= a physical-object/information has to have a defined/discrete/quantum form. if it is has a form then there is unity/one/absolute and hence not infinite. infinity hence does not exist
___
| moral-platonism does not exist |= if platonism is false (as proven above)
___
- objectivity is defined as something that is independent of consciousness eg. q-clock-n-time (e-rtrn_planck-time-n-poincare-recurrence-time)
- morality is defined as the realm of human affairs (principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behaviour)
- morality requires a consciousness
- hence morality is subjective

- even if god exist,
- god is conscious
- morality is still subjective to god,
- morality is still subjective
