- Premise 1: The coherence of a mental abstraction, determined by the Classical Laws of Logic, the Principle of Sufficient Reason, and the Causal Principle being present, determines whether it is possible to understand it or not.
- Premise 2: If the Classical Laws of Logic, the Principle of Sufficient Reason, and the Causal Principle were not innate to human beings, then every mental abstraction would be incoherent.
- Conclusion: Therefore, the existence of coherent abstractions necessitate their being innate.
- How could we arrive at the Classical Laws of Logic, the Principle of Sufficient Reasoning, and the Causal Principle if we did not already possess them innately? These principles are the foundation for all rational mental abstractions and are necessary for us to make sense of the world around us. Without them, it would be impossible for us to understand anything.
- Therefore, if we are able to understand mental abstractions, it must be the case that the Classical Laws of Logic, the Principle of Sufficient Reasoning, and the Causal Principle are innate to human beings.
- 1) The Classical Laws of Logic, the Principle of Sufficient Reason, and the Causal Principle are necessary for making coherent abstractions and logical inferences.
- 2) It is not possible to construct mental abstractions that are coherent without the Classical Laws of Logic, the Principle of Sufficient Reasoning, and the Causal Principle.
- c) If the Classical Laws of Logic, the Principle of Sufficient Reason, and the Causal Principle were not innate to human beings, then every mental abstraction would be incoherent.
- 1) If the Classical Laws of Logic, the Principle of Sufficient Reason, and the Causal Principle were not innate to human beings, then every mental abstraction would be incoherent.
- 2) Not all mental abstractions are incoherent.
- c) Therefore, the existence of coherent abstractions necessitates these principles being innate.
