Linkage: Mavericking Mysteries

Over at the Maverick Philosopher, Bill Vallicella and some others have been on a tear of philosophical theology, specifically on appeal to mysteries in theology, and on incarnation issues.

Here, atheist philosopher Peter Lupu mounts an argument against positive mysteriansism.

Bill asks: Does inconceivability entail impossibility. (No.) And: Whether Jesus exists necessarily? (No.)

In another post, Bill argues that if a mysterian defense works for belief in the Trinity, it should work for materialists about human beings too.

And here, Bill explains very clearly why the distinction between primary substance and supposit is open to the charge of being ad hoc.

The comments are of very high quality. My only objection is that when I’m busy, it’s hard to keep up with this philosophical hot rod!
