Challenge the Philosophy - claim and proof

Claim and Proof of the Proposition that "we are [more reasonably] human beings who are part of the causal infinity of existence":

The proposition is saying four basic things from a more reasonable, limited perspective:

1. Premise: We exist.

2. Premise: We are human beings.

3. Premise: Existence is defined by causal infinity.

1. Conclusion: Human beings are part of the causal infinity of existence.

Defense of Proposition:

1. Premise 1 "we exist" is defended on grounds that if we do not exist at some level, then it does not follow how we can know that we do not exist.

2. Premise 2 "we are human beings" is defended on grounds that as living entities we are more reasonably distinguishable from other life-forms. Also, since it is established from Premise 1 that we have a capacity to think, it follows more reasonably that we need sentience and corporeal and non-corporeal aspects which define us as human beings. Viz., it does not make sense how we be without these characteristics and still more reasonably have thoughts. (Note, the non-corporeal aspect of ourselves is defended by Kant's axiom "being is a necessity of reason", which means that from our limited perspective, there must be something corporeal aspects, without facing the contradictory position of defining ourselves as ends-in-themselves.

3. Premise 3 "existence is defined by causal infinity" is defended on grounds that we can only from our causal, relative perspective, (which eliminates complete knowledge), and therefore, it follows that from our perspective, existence which is established by Premise 1 and indirectly by Premise 2, must more reasonably be defined by causality and infinity (causal infinity). To retort that existence is more reasonably defined by wholeness (or a thing-in-itself), then one would face the problem that something from something else ad infinitium is more reasonable than something from nothing.

4. Conclusion 1 "human beings are part of the causal infinity" is defended on grounds that by establishing that we exist, we are human beings (including not ends-in-themselves), and existence is defined by causal infinity, it follows that human beings are part of the causal infinity of existence.

(Note, none of the premises, conclusion, and the proposition as a whole are assertions of complete knowledge. Rather, they are assertions of more reasonable, incomplete knowledge.)
