... Leibniz's guiding analogy of a geometrical packing or tiling problem may be applied to solve the puzzle of incompossibility in the context of finite and infinite worlds composed of extended corporeal substances. Finally, the fourth section shows how the strategy of Leibniz's packing analogy might be applied...

They would be finite rational beings and discursive cognizers. But they would not be human. And this raises a question about the pure forms of the understanding...

...Daniel Rubio In Infinity, Causation, and Paradox , Alexander Pruss undertakes a sweeping defense of the metaphysical thesis Causal Finitism. According to causal finitists, nothing can be affected by infinitely many causes. Pruss argues for causal finitism by way of a cumulative case: accepting...

A second but not independent example is the well-established debate as to the nature of the attributes...

... that y is conceived through x if and only if y is
caused by x. From these two commitments it follows that if y is in x, then y is
caused by x. So if something inheres in itself, it is both self-caused and con-
ceived through itself.
Garrett thinks that Spinoza conceives of singular things (finite...

7 whether this can be relaxed. Let B be the set of possible credence
