Countable fusion not yet proven guilty: it may be the Whiteheadian account of space whatdunnit
Abstract
I criticise a paper by Peter Forrest in which he argues that a principle of unrestricted countable fusion has paradoxical consequences. I argue that the paradoxical consequences that he exhibits may be due to his Whiteheadean assumptions about the nature of spacetime rather than to the principle of unrestricted countable fusion.Author's Profile
