:grin: I just meant we don't have to get our boxers in a bunch over the status of truthbearers, the content of truthmakers, and the mysterious corresp...

At least we've drawn the scope of our analysis to our experience, as opposed to trying to tie it to something metaphysical.

And that's kin to the idea of truth as revelation. We start out not knowing which of all the possible worlds we're in. The evidence reveals this to us...

Hypotheticals are also truth apt. "If the volcano blows, a cooling trend will begin.". This isn't specifically about us, and it isn't here. Whether tr...

It became embedded after they started counting? Also interesting.

It was embedded before humans started counting? That's interesting.

What are you talking about?

It's too basic to analyze. Apparently we don't learn it, since it can't be taught. Maybe it's part of the structure of mind and thought.

Although, it's not just here. Elsewhere in a discussion about the same topic: "This place is filled with cringe jp fanboys, im officialy out. Nietszch...

Jesus. :lol:

The most popular way the Overman is interpreted by contemporary Nietzsche fans is post human , particularly the post human god.

No.

Material equivalence is just for propositions.

Oh dear.

You said deflationary truth is where there's a material equivalence between a true sentence and a fact. This is not the case. It says there's a materi...

@"Banno" You can't do that.

It appears to be the same proposition. If not, how are they different? This isn't the T-schema, as I'm sure you're aware. That's: "Snow is white" is t...

There aren't actually two propositions there. It's one sentence. Have you modified the idea of material equivalence?

That's not truth deflation and most definitely not correspondence theory.

It isn't clear what this means. What's a material equivalence? Why not just an equivalence? And why not call it an equivalence theory of truth if that...

I agree. Nevertheless, he's one of the most important and influential thinkers of his time. Not everyone's cup of tea, though.

Hey, you guys can continue on at whatever speed you like. I'm reading an essay about the eternal return, so I'll be doing my own thing. Thanks for you...

This video explains how I feel about that, but you have to watch the whole thing. https://youtu.be/uT_sGVIVNh0

That's says more about you than it does about Nietzsche, I'm afraid.

Nietzsche is a conundrum. In some ways he's amazing. But then he says things I can't forgive, like that a large portion of the human population is sup...

There is actually quite a bit of academic work examining the connection between Nietzsche and eugenics. He spoke of breeding experiments. He suggested...

I think this is where I agree with postmodernism. At the point that eugenics became wildly popular in the UK and the US, it was obvious to people that...

Unfortunately it's not nonsense. "The old tablets of morality are broken, and the new ones are only half-written.’ With these words Alexander Tille en...

That's exactly the right image because Zarathustra is handing them a set of values. These values are in opposition to the Christian other-worldly fram...

The scene is dream-like to me. They think he's talking about the tight-rope walker: the over man. True, that doesn't make much sense. Good question. I...

You're mistaken.

I'll try.

How would you know this had happened unless you're capable of entering the original conversation to see that it's different from the one you created?

:up: I'm reading an essay about how the Overman relates to the eternal return. It's good.

It occurs to me that this issue is mostly about non-philosophical discussions. If I just stay away from those, I probably won't see as much infantile ...

The next section introduces the Superman. I'm sure everyone will have their own notion of what that is. Recall that the exchange with the Saint sets u...

I'm sure you're right. I don't care at this point.

I think we beat the saint to death, poor guy. Let's move on.

That's a fascinating quote, and I totally agree with it, but I don't see how it relates.

Right. By the time he writes TSZ, he no longer approves of the Saint's isolation. In TSZ, the Saint refers to both himself and Z as anchorites, which ...

That's early Nietzsche in Schopenhauer as Educator. Per McPherson: "According to Nietzsche in ‘Schopenhauer as Educator’, what is needed in order to j...

I think Nietzsche enjoyed the position of anthropologist. In that role, he was free to take whatever beliefs and values a society holds as mythology, ...

" In a remarkable passage from ‘Schopenhauer as Educator’, Nietzsche describes his understanding of the saint in the following terms: "And so nature a...

In Schopenhauer as Educator?

The Saint doesn't represent Christianity in general. For N, the Saint is a person who has experienced some sort of ego death and has blended with all ...

You mischaracterized the exchange. I wasn't involved. My interest is that Xtrix has done this before and Jamal said at that time that there is an unsp...

Fine.

"Yeet" is American slang for "throw." Xtrix was condescending and insulting for pages to another poster named "God must be an atheist',then Tzeentch i...

And it's ok for Xtrix to insult people, but no one may respond?

:up: I'd like to see the intervention in discussions he's participating in stop.
