Feasible in what sense? If every nation converts to nuclear power and we start building large scale scrubbers, we could at least reverse some of the c...
One of the issues is the object of agreement. Propositions work for that role, but some reject the existence of such things. I think their only recour...
One way to give meaning to life is to condemn some aspects of the present and claim that something better is coming. This is Christian eschatology. It...
Moving on, the tone becomes strikingly biblical sounding: *Zarathustra, however, looked at the people and wondered. Then he spake thus: "Man is a rope...
@"Michael" You just need to stipulate what you want the terms to mean. There's too much controversy surrounding it to assume your audience will know w...
Correct. It's content. That's just how English works. Al said that he was tired. We don't know exactly what words he uttered, but we know what he said...
I'm continuing this reading on my own. Before continuing, this is a pretty good review of popular takes on the Overhuman as it related to the eternal ...
They found evidence that supports the belief that they had feathers. But say the original scientist isn't buying it and now there's a conflict. Opposi...
With redundancy, "truth" is just a social sign that generally means endorsement. Correspondence isn't involved. Redundancy is basically saying there's...
Say a scientist asserts that T. Rex didn't have feathers. Later, it comes to light that they did. I wouldn't use the word "relative" because that impl...
If someone endorses P, we know they would say P is true. P might subsequently be determined to be false. People would say it was always false. Redunda...
With any theory of truth, you look for certain criteria to determine truth or falsehood. For instance, with correspondence theory, you look for corres...
I like it. It all eternally returns anyway. If you transcend yourself, that was always going to happen just the way it did. It's no big deal. Take a l...
Like the Nazi interpretation, there is a basis for it in Nietzsche's writings, the Over-human and the concept of the eternal return are closely linked...
Another popular view, one I like, is that the Overman, or Over-human, as some scholars call it, is a person who has the characteristics of the saint, ...
Right. We don't assign the truth predicate to strings of words, but to the content of an uttered sentence. I didn't know anyone was researching that. ...
It's not me. This is a long standing objection to correspondence: that it lacks analytical clarity. And yet, "It's fuzzy" isn't really truth apt until...
Sentences are not favored as truthbearers outside artificial systems. Propositions work better for that purpose, although they're abstract objects. Th...
