ok now we are also far back in my memory banks as well:
on aquinas/ockham: maybe an anachronistic juxtaposition--it helps me keep the alternatives seperate. i taught this stuff but not for a long time, so if my brainhaze has clouded things outside itself, my apologies.
2. or god could be the being that contains the logical conditions of possibility for all beings, which would include the category of being itself, so its tautological. works basically the same way in either case.
3. i know that in general aquinas is an aristotlean, but in this particular case the line is basically platonist. the two are not at all points mutually exclusive.
this memory test thing is kind of fun.
it is hard, though. i wonder if i have reservoirs left on this. i suppose we'll see.
