Law of the Infinite Cornucopia
- Law of the Infinite Cornucopia
The Law of the Infinite Cornucopia, put forth by Polish philosopher Leszek Koakowski suggests that for any given doctrine one wants to believe, there is never a shortage of arguments by which one can support it.
A historian's application of this law might be that a plausible cause can be found for any given historical development. A biblical theologian's application of this law might be that for any doctrine one wants to believe, there is never a shortage of biblical evidence to support it.
