I argue that there is a hitherto unrecognized connection between Henry of Ghent\u2019s general theory of real relations and his Trinitarian theology, namely the notion of numerical sameness without identity.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nThis last notion<\/strong> can be traced back to Aristotle, and pops up through the middle ages: the basic idea is that an x and y can differ, and so fail to be identical, and yet be “numerically one”. Myself, I deny that there’s any such relation, but some disagree, most notably Mike Rea and Jeff Brower. Here’s a relevant 2007 post<\/a> featuring Billary.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nTheories of real relations<\/strong>… well, Scott should get on here and explain that one! Medieval theories of relations are best left to the specialists. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
