Re: Catch that thief!

Certain assertions may be 'reasonable' within certain theological or philosophical contexts, but if I reject these contexts then I don't see why I should accept these assertions unless accompanied by some sort of argument such as does not presuppose the Christian framework. If Hart is unable to do this, or (more likely) uninterested in doing this, then maybe the works of Hart are not written for me, and were only written so that Christians can sing from the same hymnsheet. In which case, I suppose it means that it was a mistake for me as a non-Christian to look to Hart's works for philosophical illumination. That I can entirely accept. I personally don't find any difficulty whatever in the notion of something that is not thought of, but is distinguishable from nothing. I think most of the universe is uncontemplated. 'There are integers that have never been thought of' is, I believe, a true proposition.
