Physics never tells us how matter is in them selves, independently of other things The question as to how to explain matter independently without referring to its structure and function.
Argument
P1: All our knowledge about physical objects concerns their structure and function
P2: There must be more to physical objects than just their structure and function
-- Conj --
C: There must be some aspects of physical objects that we aren't in a position to know aboutResponses
Matter is a solid particle
- But, solidity is a functional property that describes how it reacts with other particles
- Therefore, we can conclude that any description of reality in terms of structure and reality is incomplete, because there has to be something underneath that has that structure and function
