27. Natural Reality / C. Space / 3. Points in Space

8269	Points are limits of parts of space, so parts of space cannot be aggregates of them [Lowe]
	Full Idea: Points are limits of parts of space, in which case parts of space cannot be aggregates of them.
	From: E.J. Lowe (The Possibility of Metaphysics [1998], 3.9)
	A reaction: To try to build space out of points (how many per cc?) is fairly obviously asking for trouble, but Lowe articulates nicely why it is a non-starter.
