I counter with the idea that if presentism is true, there are evils that are unjustified, because their justification has yet to occur. :-)<br /><br />Alexander R Prusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05989277655934827117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891434218564545511.post-35155766156961282842017-07-31T11:29:16.319-05:002017-07-31T11:29:16.319-05:00Jo:

Then run the rest of the arguments using "death*" instead of "death". It is clear, I think, that death* is intrinsically bad for one -- and this is true whether or not anybody actually suffers from death* (I think no one suffers from death*).Alexander R Prusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05989277655934827117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891434218564545511.post-45472253027810120242017-07-30T13:22:42.319-05:002017-07-30T13:22:42.319-05:00Of course (as you probably had in mind, considerin...Of course (as you probably had in mind, considering your initial disclaimer), premise 1 requires that death be the permenant cessation of the deceased's existence, and until that's established as true or more plausibly true than false one must suspend judgement with respect to this argument against presentism. Great post either way, though!
