Child's Play

(Continued)
“A set having three members is a single thing
wholly constituted by its members but distinct from them.
After this, the theological doctrine of the Trinity as
‘three in one’ should be child’s play.”
– Max Black, Caveats and Critiques: Philosophical Essays
in Language, Logic, and Art
, Cornell U. Press, 1975

    Hi Stephen:
    Have you seen Margaret Masterman's essay on a trinitarian diagram in Theoria to Theory?  I transcribed the relevant portions here:

  2. Hello Charles:

    No, I hadn't seen Masterman's essay, which is highly relevant.
    Thank you for the link.

    See the footnote to my post today on the next higher dimension:
