How do you understand imagine in this context? Being able to visually represent it?that such an entity is theoretically logically possible, and therefore, even though I cannot imagine it, — Troodon Roar
Does anyone else here agree with me that such an entity is theoretically logically possible, and therefore, even though I cannot imagine it, the fact that I can describe it with language shows that it, nevertheless, exists somewhere in logical space? — Troodon Roar
(the space of logically possible entities or possible worlds, as philosophers talk about)? — Troodon Roar
I argue here that there may very well be many things, infinite things, in fact, that are logically possible, and thus exist in the realm of logically possible entities, or logical space, but are unimaginable by humans. — Troodon Roar
For example, humans cannot imagine what a sixteen-dimensional space would look like, but it can still be described theoretically, and there is nothing logically contradictory about it. — Troodon Roar

Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
