The importance of Objections and counterarguments
	In developing an argument, it is natural that various kinds of objection should arise
	The kinds of objection include
		•Objections of logic or reason
		•Objections of feasibility
		•Objections of ethics
	It is important to seek and respond to objections and criticisms for this is an essential part of securing the argument
	Objections of feasibility and of ethics are considered in the main development
	Although some objections of reason are taken up in the development, it is useful to have a separate section devoted to the objections… this is because there are some patterns to the objections and seeing these patterns improves understanding and the ability to conduct an argument. Thus two kinds of objection that commonly arise concern (1) meaning, and (2) the logic of an argument
	Some objections go even deeper. An example is the concern that it is possible to talk about ‘all being.’ This leads to senses in which ‘Universe,’ for example, is an empirical object (and other senses in which it is not.) The outcome, seen in the developments, is the enhancement of method
