I am unclear on this. I've heard much on the transcendental nature of the laws of logic and mathematics, yet if they are not in this material universe, where are they? I'd appreciate some pointers to argument that such an idealism holds.
To say that they are non-empirical because they are products of reason assumes that reason is somehow non-empirical itself. I'd say that is not yet shown and I fail to see how it can be shown.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
