Though this sounds like a form of consequentialism—indeed Parfit calls it “Kantian rule consequentialism”—he offers both contractualist and Kantian arguments for it, appealing to the idea that the rules are ones that it would be unreasonable for anyone to reject, and that we all have reason to consent to them. Hence the designation “Triple Theory.”<br /><br />I don't think there is any direct link to Duhring's theory which Engels characterised as follows- our material arranges itself quite naturally into three groups, namely, the general scheme of the universe, the science of the principles of nature, and finally the science of mankind. This succession at the same time contains an inner logical sequence, for the formal principles which are valid for all being take precedence, and the realms of the objects to which they are to be applied then follow in the degree of their subordination'.<br /><br />windwheelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18099651877551933295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674709389503889160.post-37335316766382294862018-06-30T15:53:51.115+01:002018-06-30T15:53:51.115+01:00What is the 'triple theory'?

Clearly this entails 'genidentity' i.e. identity persistence over time. Buddhist ontology doesn't have succession in Time but does have a workaround- viz. 'antarabhava'- such that its soteriological kernel remains globally (i.e. across all possible worlds) 'regret minimizing'. Parfit was clutching at a caricature of Buddhism- not the genuine article. I'll do a post soon to clarify this.<br />Thanks for your comment.windwheelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18099651877551933295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674709389503889160.post-49207701604563607742017-01-04T09:37:15.621+00:002017-01-04T09:37:15.621+00:00'replace every mention of 'Consistency'...'replace every mention of 'Consistency' in his oeuvre with 'Hannan Consistency'- in which case his faux Buddhist theory of Personal identity is false-'<br />Why?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
