M'kay. Then my example would not convince you of dialetheism, and at this point in the debate I'd ask -- if dialetheism were somehow justified would t...

The liar's sentence. "This sentence is false" is the liar's sentence. This doesn't fit your "for example", though, because it's not about a person, bu...
October 24, 2024 at 03:56
Your choice of words here has me wondering if I can or not. But I can give a straightforward answer to your question which may be aside from the point...
October 24, 2024 at 02:02
I'm a defender of dialetheism, thus far. Which rules out the LNC. Hence, the notion of pluralism -- at least so far no one has said that the logics wh...

Vinegar is so debasing.
October 24, 2024 at 00:14
Heh. I wouldn't go that far at least. I think @"Leontiskos" and @"Count Timothy von Icarus" would want us to come up with a notion of logical monism w...

O. In that case, clearly stipulate-able.
October 23, 2024 at 23:48
I wouldn't restrict the lounge like that. Off topic, but I think the various "wonderings" which are lounge-appropriate can lead to cool and interestin...
October 23, 2024 at 23:07
This comment makes me question if I know what the debate is about. What's the debate about?
October 23, 2024 at 22:36
One thing unmentioned that I really like is the "A Very Short Introduction" series of books, as well as the "Introducing" series for similar reasons: ...

:up:
October 22, 2024 at 00:20
That's a bit beyond me. How does it fail?
October 22, 2024 at 00:11
Yours has been the hardest to respond to for me. Hence my tardiness. If we substitute normative social practices for Kant's Transcendental categories,...
October 22, 2024 at 00:06
I agree. I came to the same conclusion, and was disappointed. "Further research needed" :D I enjoy the phenomenology, but only got 1/2 through the log...
October 21, 2024 at 23:41
My brush with dialethiesm, and thereby paraconsistent logic, came from my studies of the liar's paradox. So for me it's the result of reading argument...
October 21, 2024 at 23:18
It could be thought of as a regulative principle -- here we have multiple logics, but we would like them to cohere: the monist would then be more of a...
October 21, 2024 at 15:13
I believe that I do, and I'm happy that you continue to respond in spite of the frustration. Gonna call it for tonight and rethink stuff, though obvio...
October 20, 2024 at 05:26
Interesting. I like this approach of defining the difference as a matter of method. I notice a distinct lack of dialetheism in your approach ;) The wa...
October 19, 2024 at 22:45
Suppose that the liar's sentence is false. Then the liar's sentence is true because it says that it is false. Suppose that the liar's sentence is true...

Nice. I don't mean to speak for @"Joshs", but I'd say that "living in the moment", which is possible, does not negate the triadic structure Josh menti...
October 19, 2024 at 13:47
What makes you say that? I kind of thought of Tarski's paper, that I still struggle with reading, was basically a correspondence theory of truth? Eith...

Lulz. :D
October 19, 2024 at 11:10
I prefer "If you can't tell the difference between the various garbages, or worthwhiles, then it's time to open your mind more" :D
October 19, 2024 at 00:06
Cool, got it. Makes sense. One doesn't have to accept true contradictions to abandon the principle of explosion -- it could be that contradictions sti...
October 18, 2024 at 11:38
Yes Here I am using it, no? Its use-case is philosophical, rather than pragmatic, but I don't think that makes it meaningless. Also I've changed over ...
October 18, 2024 at 11:36
M'kay, cool. I was looking for uses to get an idea of what you meant, and the one use-case I found looked like it fits with your idea of being a perso...
October 18, 2024 at 10:47
What does it mean to "say something"? I'll say more, though it's fair to ask what are the conditions you're after here -- what I have in mind is that ...
October 18, 2024 at 00:10
Ran a search and found only one paragraph with the phrase. Is this the one you mean to reference? It seems like the whole paragraph gets along with yo...
October 17, 2024 at 23:33
I prefer to think of it as putting it to the side as something that can be discussed separately -- which isn't to say our choice of a logic is metaphy...
October 16, 2024 at 21:02
Cool. I mean logic prior to Frege. The square isn't found in Prior Analytics, but I would consider the likes of Frege, Peirce, and Cantor as part of t...
October 16, 2024 at 15:07
I don't exactly object to classical logic, though -- I'm saying it has limitations, not that it's wrong in every case. To clarify -- the wiki on syllo...
October 16, 2024 at 11:45
I'll quote Gillian Russell here from the opening of her One True Logic?: Humean skepticism comes to mind -- it could be that our logical discourse is ...
October 16, 2024 at 11:32
Right! And far from rejecting classical logic it seems to me to give clarity to its underlying intuitions. These extensions of logic aren't so much an...
October 15, 2024 at 22:39
Do they need to be counterexamples to Aristotle? I don't think so. I think that I'd simply have to want to utilize some other logic -- and there are s...
October 15, 2024 at 22:20
That's a lot closer to home to my way of thinking -- and why I like Feyerabend's deconstruction of Popper as a kind of object lesson for all philosoph...
October 15, 2024 at 21:02
The difference I intend between pure (as such) logic and applied (transcendental) logic is that we can do logic without addressing questions of being,...
October 15, 2024 at 20:56
I'd put it that the question which asks about the relationship between logic and being is no longer doing pure logic. The distinction I think of that ...
October 14, 2024 at 16:38
I agree. Being wrong, and realizing it, is like removing a splinter which also gives me a new perspective. At one point I thought it a pain but I've c...
October 12, 2024 at 20:28
pretty sure the cracked pots are an exponential function such that if you allow 3 or 4 it's containable, but 6 or 7 might make all the non-crackpots b...

lmao
October 12, 2024 at 17:07
As the czar of catsup I must order you to silence -- catsup is always good, and in fact isn't even a condiment. It is the better food. It can go on ic...
October 12, 2024 at 16:47
That's a super cool video. More research must be done, but if the idea survives the test of criticism it seems to support punctuated equilibrium.
October 12, 2024 at 16:44
My philosophy for new members is to give them grace when they don't understand, and extend charity to the point that it doesn't disrupt the community ...
October 11, 2024 at 19:44
Super-Trooper-Finagling-Ubermensch, I think.
October 11, 2024 at 18:24
Right. So there exist some modern cynics, or some rough equivalent there -- all social backgrounds include people who want drugs or are mentally ill b...
October 09, 2024 at 22:56
I don't think one needs a philosophy or lifestyle to want drugs or be mentally ill.
October 09, 2024 at 22:45
Given the benefits of the various logics I see no downsides.
October 09, 2024 at 22:22
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gutter_punk is the modern phenomena I associate with ancient cynic philosophy.
October 09, 2024 at 22:13
That's where I end up in my thinking -- the personhood of a foetus is more in question than the personhood of the mother, and so the rights of personh...
