Abstract
It often happens in the history of philosophy that problems which cannot be solved are dropped. This may come about when due to the advent of access to additional information a problem turns out to be not a genuine problem after all but only a pseudo-problem, or when interest shifts from a problem which proves to be either undecidable or of less importance than had been thought. In any case it means for some philosophical assumptions that they lead to trial runs which need not be made.
