Leibniz seems to get to high-minded religiosity fine with monadology and still dodge dualism. I'm probably overdue to try and grapple with this stuff again, since I think you'd have to revisit it pretty often to stay fresh. But I'll hazard a summary: phenomena exist, and both the soul of the individual and God exist too, necessarily, as a kind of completion or closure. A kind of panpsychism that's logically rigorous and still not violating parsimony. AI folks honestly need to look at this stuff (and Wittgenstein) a bit more, especially if you think that ML and Bayes is all about mathematically operationalizing Occam. Shaking down your friendly neighborhood philosopher for good axioms is a useful approach |
