An Argument Against Supernatural Causation
#2
RE: An Argument Against Supernatural Causation
Hi Caecilian,

Thanx for the post on Jaegwon Kim's argument.

It seems to me that Jaegwon Kim is boldly defining causality as a temporal-spatial relationship in the traditional dimensions we know. What if reality has additional dimensions, hidden from our observation, where souls reside and where trajectories through these additional dimensions pair event A to event B in such a way that A neccessitates B? Than it would look like magical or supernatural causation to us, wouldn't it? How can Kim rule that out?
