Anderson located the rise of national identities within a long-evolving crisis of dynastic conceptions of identity, time, and space, and argued print-capitalism was the key cultural and economic force in the genesis of nations. This article offers a critical appropriation and application of Anderson's theory through two steps.

Firstly, on premise 1, in contrast to their ‘widely-shared intuition’, conceivability seems to us to be a dubious guide to metaphysical possibility. The issue we have is general and applies to all ‘appeals to inconceivability’ in metaphysics. Put simply, even granting realism for the moment, the problem with such appeals to inconceivability is that...
But let us suppose we grant that conceivability is a reliable guide to metaphysical modality. It is still questionable whether what Anderson and Welty find hard to imagine is even relevant to the question of non-contradiction. They say: ‘We cannot imagine a possible world in which the law of noncontradiction is false … Now you may insist that you c...

While this logic ...

Jul 11, 2020 · PDF. James Anderson and Greg Welty have resurrected an argument for God’s existence (Anderson and Welty 2011 ), which we will call the argument from logic. We present three lines of response against the argument, involving the notion of necessity involved, the notion of intentionality involved, and then we pose a dilemma for divine conceptualism.
