>Whitehead was retroactively refuted by Parmenides and Guenon

I was Googling this to try to learn what the fuck it even means, and found this.

Which one of you did this?

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 13 16:24:40 2020 No.14530475 Isn't retroactive refutation just normal refutation? Like, if I refute Socrates now he was wrong to begin with, he didn't start being wrong only now that I've refuted him

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 13 16:26:10 2020 No.14530488 >>14530475 No it means refuting future arguments. Like if made a bad argument now, and the counterargument was proposed by Socrates, then Socrates would have retroactively refuted you. I'm not sure how anyone can "invent" this type of objection.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 13 16:30:07 2020 No.14530517 Why the word "retroactive" then? Sounds more like a "pre-emptive" refutation to me

>>14530517
A pre-emptive refutation would be more like if I anticipate that you are going to make an argument during a debate and I beat you to the chase and offer the counter before you can say anything. But in a case like Parmenides, where he didn’t even know someone like Whitehead would ever exist, his argument is a retroactive refutation. I’m not sure if that even makes sense, but I tried whatever. I think maybe I just retroactively refuted myself

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 13 16:35:56 2020 No.14530547 >>14530517 the refutation was active since the past
