Palacký University in Olomouc 2004; and V Palacký University Olomouc Philosophical Faculty Department of Philosophy Mgr. Vlastimil Vohánka Modality, Logical Probability, and the Trinity: A Defence of Weak Skepticism MODALITA, LOGICKÁ PRAVDĚPODOBNOST A TROJICE: OBHAJOBA UMÍRNĚNÉHO SKEPTICISMU Dissertation thesis Study program: Philosophy Supervisor: Prof. PhDr. et RNDr. Jan Štěpán, CSc. Olomouc 2011 1 Statement I declare that I wrote this dissertation on my own and that I cited all used sources. Olomouc, ............................... Vlastimil Vohánka ............................... 2 Abstract (EN) The author defends the thesis that, apart from religious experience, it cannot be evident – in a defined sense of psychological impossibility – that the Trinity doctrine is logically possible. The Trinity doctrine is understood broadly, as the proposition that there is just one God but three persons each of which is God. It is concluded that, apart from religious experience, none of the following claims can be evident: the Trinity doctrine is true; Christianity is true; the Trinity doctrine is logically possible; Christianity is logically possible; the Trinity doctrine has some but not minimal (zero) logical probability with respect to all that is evident; Christianity has some but not minimal logical probability with respect to all that is evident. Christianity is understood as a particular compound proposition including the Trinity doctrine. Replies are provided to objections against the employed principles of logical probability. The author leaves as undecided whether the Trinity doctrine, Christianity, or their logical possibility are: epistemically justified; well-argued; plausibly logically probable with respect to all that is evident (though not evidently logically probable on such information apart from religious experience); or probable in other than the logical sense.

Abstrakt (CZ) Autor hájí tezi, že, dáme-li stranou náboženskou zkušenost, je vyloučeno (ve specifickém smyslu tzv. psychologické nemožnosti), aby bylo evidentní, že učení o Trojici je logicky možné. Učení o Trojici se tu chápe široce; jako propozice, že existuje právě jeden Bůh, ale přitom tři osoby, z nichž je každá Bohem. Je učiněn závěr, že, dáme-li stranou náboženskou zkušenost, je vyloučeno, aby bylo evidentní, že: učení o Trojici je pravdivé; křesťanství je pravdivé; učení o Trojici je logicky možné; křesťanství je logicky možné; učení o Trojici má neminimální (nenulovou) logickou pravděpodobnost vzhledem ke všemu, co je evidentní; křesťanství má neminimální (nenulovou) logickou pravděpodobnost vzhledem k všemu, co je evidentní. Křesťanství se zde chápe jako určitá složená propozice zahrnující učení o Trojici. Jsou poskytnuty odpovědi na námitky proti užitým principům logické pravděpodobnosti. Autor neřeší otázku, zda jsou učení o Trojici, křesťanství či jejich logická možnost: epistemicky justifikované; dobře zdůvodněné; plausibilně logicky pravděpodobné vzhledem ke všemu, co je evidentní (byť nikoli evidentně logicky pravděpodobné vzhledem k takovým informacím, dáme-li stranou náboženskou zkušenost); nebo pravděpodobné v jiném než logickém smyslu. Klíčová slova Evidentní pravdivost · Logická pravděpodobnost · Logická možnost · Analytičnost · Trojice · Křesťanství · Apologetika · Psychologická možnost · Náboženská zkušenost · Nededuktivní metody v matematice · Epistemická justifikace · Dobrý argument · Interpretace pravděpodobnosti · Richard Swinburne · Timothy J. McGrew · Peter van Inwagen · John Maynard Keynes · James Franklin · Scholastika · Barokní scholastika.

  • Vom Seelengefährt Zum Glorienleib   
    Vom Seelengefährt zum Glorienleib Verena Lobsien Bernd Roling Lutz Bergemann Bettina Bohle (eds.) BERLIN STUDIES OF THE ANCIENT WORLD , das bereits von Platon und zuvor von Parmenides konzipiert wurde, ist für die philosophische Selbstverständigung von der Antike bis in die frühe Au lärung und darüber hinaus die moderne Esoterik von zentraler Bedeutung. Sein veranschaulichendes Potenzial reicht von der Erkundung der Möglichkeiten der Kommunikation zwischen eigentlich klar voneinander geschiedenen ontologischen Räumen – dem des Unsto ich- Göttlichen einerseits und dem des Sto ich-Irdischen bzw. menschlich Seelischen andererseits – bis hin zu natur philosophischen Entwürfen zur Erklärung des Phänomens der Elektrizität. Immer wieder wurde es von so unterschiedlichen Denkern wie z. B. Plutarch, Bernardus Silvestris, Kepler, Suarez oder Christian Wolf herangezogen, um das Problem der Einwirkung des Intelligiblen und Göttlichen auf die menschliche Seele oder die irdische Natur zu erklären. Es motivierte Dichter wie Traherne oder Donne zu literarischen Insze- nierungen sympathetisch-aitherischer Leiblichkeit und deren eschatologischen Implikationen. Diesem zentralen und spannungsvollen Themenspek- trum in seiner historischen wie thematischen Konti- nuität nähern sich die Autor*innen dieses Bandes aus interdisziplinär verschränkter Perspektive, die zudem eine innovative, künstlerische Auseinandersetzung mit den verschiedenen Aspekten des Licht(-leib)es umfasst. berlin studies of 57 the ancient world berlin studies of the ancient world ·
