2. Reason / E. Argument / 7. Thought Experiments

15164	We seem to base necessities on thought experiments and imagination [Sidelle]
	Full Idea: Judgments of necessity seem always to be based on thought experiments and appeals to what we can imagine.
	From: Alan Sidelle (Necessity, Essence and Individuation [1989], Ch.1)
	A reaction: That is, the denial of this thing seems inconceivable. I would say that they are also based on coherence. The idea that we can think without imagination is nonsense.
