Sure. But I'm a golden dye-job with dirty continental roots.

Waxing phenomenological, I'd say that we, our world, and our language are fused. We are being-in-the-world-with-others-in-language.

Joking and not joking. If the world is all that is the case, a truth is a piece of the world. I'm questioning the supposed gap between the meaning of ...

It's not just me who thinks the correspondence theory is pretty close to being deflationary. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/truth-correspondence/

Saussure is one of my favorite thinkers. Good recommendation ! But bad social gesture.

Isn't the point discussion ?

How's this ? The meaning of the assertion, the sentence in use, seems to simply be the world(-as-understood). If we jettison apparent nonsense like th...

I think his joke is that the correspondence theory doesn't make sense, so it's like answering 'the' question to present it so that it does. What are d...

:up: Beautiful.

In other words, phenomenology is making it explicit, foregrounding the otherwise inconspicuous. We should also make a space for stronger forms of inve...

I get that, and I plucked some of the quotes you used from The Concept of Time. A vulgar way of thinking about time hides our profound historicity fro...

A present time pervaded by interpretedness is ... the average everydayness of Das Man. I see (hope you'll agree) us, the world, and language as a unit...

:up: Glad I could help ! But how do you know what point I'm making. Aren't we still on the way toward making it together ?

Love that poem.

I know how to write. I'm not just making weird stuff up, friend. I'm far the first to gripe about the mysteries of the correspondence theory of truth....

I find the correlation theory initially plausible, but isn't some kind of mathematical/functional already mainstream? I did some digging. Here's a non...

What does this proposed drawing of a correlation add to the situation ? This sounds either mathematical (statistics) or thought-like or ? A child is l...

This is one of my favorites:

Does he mean reading the furniture in a room ?

I hope this is not too tangential. I think it applies to the implicit ocular metaphor in the correspondence theory (languagemeaning as picture to be h...

:up: Which one, right ? Rorty was maybe the first analytic philosopher I got into...bad influence, right ? Of course he challenged (as you prob. know)...

My question is: how does (the meaning of ) a true statement depict reality ? What is this representational, optical metaphor doing or trying to do ?

From the horse's mouth (and he is/was a genius) : This is basically a 'speculative' theological vision. Descartes 'is' 'thinking' or language. It's ou...

:up:

That view is tempting, but I can't make sense of the comparison, of the fit. Only one side is intelligible. We clearly aren't fitting strings of lette...

Maybe not then.

@"Janus" Here are some Dreyfus-translated passages from Heidegger (from Being-in-the-World). I recommend especially the chapter "The Who of Everyday D...

From Wiki: As a reader of Heidegger, you may find this relevant. (I prefer it from the horse's mouth, but I'm not going to type up piles of prose for ...

:up: Indeed, and we want that filter to be a good one ! Surely you update it in terms of what it lets through. Your 'I'-filter isn't static.

How are such boundaries established ?

I don't mean pumpkins or bowling balls. I mean the beliefs in question.

To head off any confusion, let me be clear that I'm in earnest. I don't intend sarcasm or rudeness. Here's my view of the situation. You say you are r...

I can't remember the context. Presumably it's 'we especially rational and charming people who agree with @"Pie"'...

Turing machines have a 'potentially infinite' tape. This just means that we don't build in any limits. I think there is a similar open-ended-ness in p...

:up: I agree. They seem to have meaning only as long as there are normative creatures with a use for them...as code as opposed to burning books to sta...

This is pretty good. Quoting/mentioning is something like pointing at sentence-as-meant. Deferencing is like quote-stripping, 'activating' the code. :...

:up: The Rust language dereferences pointers automatically. I think we humans are pretty good at doing that too.

You may be right, but I don't think I'm that wrong. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/truth-deflationary/

:up: We should perhaps acknowledge a Derridean 'iterabilty' at work, which is what suggests 'timeless' to earlier theorist (there's a certain time-ind...

Or perhaps neither ? We deny that truth is a property. "P is true" is a fancy/emphatic version of "P."

I think we can have some sense of whether they are justified...or what are controlled experiments for ? We decide what counts as justification after a...

I think you know not what you say. Or maybe you really are an irrationalist. There are some fun versions of it.

No offense. But by my lights you do. The key point (what I refer to) is the emphasis on the internal as the given.

I take it as a given that we aren't sharing diary entries here. You can 'know' that you have a closer walk with Jesus, 'know' that your third eye is o...

:up: If it's ghost-like stuff, I agree. There's a boring version that's acceptable, such as a report of what it's like to be blind, to be a kindergart...

Which was the point, sir. I'm looking for an alternative to a mathematical model or modeling via linguistic beliefs. So far I think you've only told u...

For some of us, getting it right is the job. Objective is good. I don't think atheism would suit my mom. Perhaps it's best not to believe there are be...

Hi ! I sometimes talk with people on forums who have various intuitions and suggestions about infinity and other mathematical concepts. Often enough t...

For instance, how does one detect/define consciousness ? If one rejects the idea of a mysterious X that makes the difference between an arbitrarily co...

Cool fact. I never seriously explored complex analysis, but I'm dimly aware of some spectacular theorems.
