I’m currently on holiday, but when I get back I’ll work on an exception handler, sorry it’s been left this long.

I have update the post and clarified certain areas, I hope this is to your approval.

As for your talk of perfection as a boolean attribute, you are quite correct. This is in fact what Anselm’s argument hinges around. There is a hierachy of ‘greatness’, with perfection being the highest point. It is greater for God to be the only God than not. Thus, if he was not, he would not be perfect.

Thanks,
Sam

My fear is, that perhaps speak of computing on the homepage will put off those here for philosophical reasons and vica versa.

Although i think you are not alone in your interest in both camps among our readership.

Perhaps it is enough to have redesigned the site so that it looks less daunting and dark? (Out of interst, do you like it?)

Many Thanks,
Sam

Seperations and distinctions may have their place, however seperating philosophy from computing (in general) puts us all in danger…..

Much as I have had my own odious peregrinations with philosophy (as a biologist) I have come to value the percentile (small) of philosophers with pragmatic perspective.

Often the one may be enriched by the other.

If you, my friend, have inclinations to both dialectics, you would be remiss to deprive us of a lesser known snapshot.

Either it’s perfect or it’s not, but there is nothing better than perfect, and if a is closer to perfection than b, then all we know is that b is imperfect.

Human perception is very limited, so something that appears perfect to us may be imperfect. For example, an angel, which is a purely spiritual being (if I understand correctly) may appear perfect to a Human, but it isn’t, as God is better. So what I’m saying is that just because someone experienced what they believed to be a divine revelation doesn’t mean that it’s real, and even if it is real, they wouldn’t be able to tell the type of being that revealed itself to them.
