"Principle of Consensus"

So essentially this is an attempt to reject the logical fallacy of argumentum ad populum. Many people believing in unicorns does not improve justification of such a belief.

This all seems like BS to me. If a person on acid has the perception that there are pink elephants on the ceiling we can legitimately say they are 'wrong'. First person experience does not delegitimize reality.

[telemantros]

The principle of consensus is not as strong as you read it, it does not imply that the number of people is what makes something true. It's proposition is much more humble suggesting rather that if there are a number of people who corroborate a testimony, then it is better justified than by one sole corroboration.

[likecards]

Hey love your new intro but you lost me in your discussion.

[telemantros]

Maybe I can help here, which part are you having problems with?

[SaintJimmyI]

Lol "... and that is a tornado Syrian."

Is this the argument given in Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology?

[telemantros]

Hey Jimmy, yes it is. It was hard to follow actually, had to re read multiple sections but overall, Kwan did a great job.

[SaintJimmyI]

Indeed.

I didn't even touch that section yet because it looked so complex.

But now I can just watch your videos a few times to get the argument down.

Thank you.

Yes, I really am enjoying The Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology but at times it is daunting for an acolyte like me. What a wonderful book - one I am sure I shall appreciate further when I better understand it. :-P Well done, brother.
